The network card is detected as nfe0: <NIVIDIA nForce 430 MCP13 Networking Adapter> port 0xf207 mem 0xfe02b000-0xfe02bfff irq 5 at device 20.0 on pci0 I found another 2 problems now. When I use the first boot option, i cant make the card get a ip, neither the HD is detected (SATA). And when I use safe mode i never boot, it halts tring to mount ufs:root.... the chipset of the mainboard is: NVIDIA® nForce® 650i SLI™ CD drive was detected as atapi. :-/ Damian
