-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm not sure about the network adapter. dmesg gives me such information: ed0: <NE2000 PCI Ethernet (RealTek 8029)> port 0xee80-0xee9f irq 11 at device 5. 0 on pci0 ed0: address 00:80:c6:f4:55:f0, type NE2000 (16 bit) BTW, I recompiled the kernel and enabled PNP BIOS option, then I got something like the following in booting: unknown: <PNP0000> can't assign resources unknown: <PNP0303> can't assign resources unknown: <PNP0501> can't assign resources unknown: <PNP0501> can't assign resources unknown: <PNP0400> can't assign resources unknown: <PNP0700> can't assign resources unknown: <PNP0c02> can't assign resources Perhaps this is the reason and I shall turn this option off in kernel? How to do it? Is there anyway to do it without recompile kernel again? Thanks a lot!
