Very helpful, thanks. cat /proc/pci says, in abstract Device:IRQ Video card:11 3com LAN:10 Realtek (which is actually my D-link LAN, go figure):9 USB Controller:3 The on board sound and or parallel port (I think you are right, since shortly after it mentions lp0, even though I don't have a printer) aren't mentioned. By the way, after having watched it a dozen times, I can figure out that there do seem to be two errors in the insmod for the eth0 and eth1 at boot. (If anyone has a good way to see boot errors besides dmesg, I'm all ears). One of the errors is a device does not appear to be present, and the other is that the irq_param is invalid. If I do an "insmod 3c59x" as root, I can ping the internal network. However, "insmod 8130too" messes that all up, and doesn't bring up the outside network.
