Y2K,
I'm going to tell you what I learned the hard way and you'll definitely benefit
by it. First of all, get away from 2.0.30. M-a-n-y changes were made from 2.0.29
to 2.0.30, leaving too m-a-n-y bugs to tackle or make the _os_ workable. Get
2.0.36 kernel with Red Hat 5.2.
In 2.0.30 no detection is available for PCI slots. On the other hand, Red Hat 5.2
has easy detection and easy installation for most ethernet cards.
Have Fun!!!!!!!!!!!
