System doesn't crash (not outright anyway) with skge, but that network interface just doesn't function. My box has also forcedeth network interface, which works just fine. Running kernel is: 2.6.20-1.2922.fc7 This system board had previously buggy bios that prevented the functioning with more than around 3GB memory at all. Now things do work, and "Rev.E memory hoist" kicks 1280 MB of memory above the 4 GB mark. Without the previously dysfunctioning "4GB memory or more" the same kernel and drivers worked just fine. Indeed the skge was my eth0. Any ideas ? /Matti Aarnio
