> Have a curious problem. I have been messing around with a future DMZ box and
have found that RH8 refuses to recognize the onboard NIC. Slackware 9 sees it
perfectly as a SiS900 based card. Neither kudzu nor a manual attempt will bring
it to life. I have tried the usual turning off of acpi/pnp aware settings in
the BIOS as well as setting the pci=noacpi switch in the bootloader to no avail
.

would like to put RH8 on there since that will simplify rsyncing stuff over
from my workstation. Any suggestions appreciated.

Addendum - Gentoo RC1.4 has no problem recognizing the onboard NIC. Beautiful
looking install for Gentoo but strikes me as perhaps the wrong build
environment for a server.
