1 Having solved the problem of booting -- thanks for all the advice -- ,
2 the next & hopefully remaining obstacle is that Dhcpcd can't find Eth0.

4 I've used 'lspci | grep Eth', which gives "Realtek Semiconductor
5 RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)",
6 so I enabled CONFIG_REALTEK_PHY in the kernel, but no improvement.
7 'syslog' lists "Gigabit Ethernet Driver loading ...
8 eth0 : RTL8168e/8111e ... ": do those "e's" make a difference ?
9
10 The mobo manual mentions "LAN RJ45" & "PCIe Gigabit LAN";
11 a mobo review via Google mentions "LAN: Qualcomm Atheros Gb LAN".
12
13 The mobo is P5G41T-M LX PLUS by Asus.
14
15 Does anyone have suggestions ?
