Well at least the 3FA: went away, but it still stops at "LI" !

I'm not sure what it says in the bios of this card (for that, I have to start a MSDOS-program). I'm wondering, why this module doesn't complain if I give it a wrong io or irq... Could this message ("loading device 'eth0' ... /lib/modules/2.0.29/net/eepro.o init_module: Device or resource busy") mean something else too? > > > > [ 3 ] R E S C U E - S T A R T U P > > > > > > > rescue root=/dev/hda3 > > > > it boots normaly (and fast...).

Actually, I have 50 MB swap.... :-) Could there be a problem with too much swap? - Fabian -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
