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!
Jimmy
