Well, some more news about this problem: I connected a network card in the system (PCI, ne2000-like) and it worked fine. I can't tell about the performance, but it surely runs ! It is detected and I can telnet, su, run ppp, etc. Amazing ! But the video card(s) won't work. I connected it with AND the network card, connected it w/o the network card, but no change to symptoms. The problems seems to be getting a little bit more defined, yet, far from a sollution. Any hints ? (Except for the RMA, heheh) note: Video cards: Brandless S3/VirgeDX adn Diamond Edge 3d 4MB. Thanks !
