Does it contain the IRQ patch? Where does it boot from SCSI or net? What PCI-Devices are installed? I use an older patched 2.6.8 debian kernel. It works fine here except that I can't insert the eepro100 module via /etc/modules on boot because some times it crashes on module insertion (or on ifconfig via init script - I don't remember exactly) and sometimes not. Therefore I do it by hand after boot up. Sebastian Heutling
