i pulled a copy of modules.lrp off the CD, added my driver entries, and dropped it on the floppy. it found & configured the network cards, but it hung at exactly the same place while booting. the box has no monitor/keyboard and i modifed syslinux.cfg to turn on the serial console. other than that and the modules.lrp change described above, it is vanilla. i've attached a copy of the console log. any idea what runs after the network_misc script? /mark
