The machine is a p100/8mb/500mb with a isa realtek nic. Which ethernet driver did you select for the NIC, or did the GENERIC kernel pick it up without requiring configuration? If so, did the kernel probe messages convince you that the card was detected using the correct IRQ and port number? > It seems to be a hardware problem, so we changed the memory, the hdd > and the nic(to pci) - same results. Except that you say 2.2.8-RELEASE was working fine, so unless you fiddled with the hardware before the upgrade, a hardware flake doesn't seem the most obvious culprit. My money's on incorrect resource configuration for the driver you used for the realtek card. Pay close attention to the kernel probe messages and make sure that the resource configuration matches the hardware's actual configuration. Ciao, Sheldon.
