I was having a similar problem when I first installed RH6.0. The card was
found during the install process, but when I would try to manually assign
the IP address it would lock the whole PC and force a reboot.
The HOWTO wisely suggested making sure the card would open in DOS. It found
it would not.
After much angst I found the PC BIOS was shadowing video in the CXXX range
the card was jumpered to be addressed.
I changed the BIOS setting to not shadow in that address range and it would
then fire right up in DOS. After that the Linux install was able to get
past opening the adapter and complete the networking setup.
My problem never had anything to do with Linux. It may not be your problem,
but I wasn't even thinking about hardware when I was pulling my hair out.
Hope this helps.
