Also, maybe this > is caused by a minuscule difference in the BIOS > setup ? I just checked the BIOS' between the two machines and there was one slight difference. Working machine I had serial port turned off and the parallel port setup differently, so I made changes to the broken machines BIOS so they are identical. After making the change I checked 'lspci -vvv' on the broken one and it's the same output as before. I tested the Marvell interface to see if it made any difference and the line died after about a second of transfering data. dmesg reported this: sky2 eth1: enabling interface sky2 eth1: ram buffer 0K sky2 eth1: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex, flow control both sky2 0000:04:00.0: error interrupt status=0x80000000 sky2 eth1: hw error interrupt status 0x8 sky2 eth1: MAC parity error sky2 0000:04:00.0: error interrupt status=0x80000000 sky2 eth1: hw error interrupt status 0x8 sky2 eth1: MAC parity error sky2 eth1: disabling interface Kevin ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat?
