[Mitch says:] Following up to my own post... I've just tried a single port NIC in the PCI slot - that combination boots fine. But, as I mentioned before, it doesn't seem to matter the chipset or PCI bridge chip (tried two different ones) - it just seems to be that 6th network interface... I don't have a dual port NIC readily available or I'd test that, but again, it just seems to be related to this base board - BUT it worked in 5.4. I deleted most of the original email from the followup - if there is someone out there who can help me narrow this down, please referr to the earlier message, or contact me or look at the problem report - if there's anything else I can do to help debug, I'm more than willing (I really need this to work) - please let me know... Thanks! m/
