[U-Boot-Users] e1000 problem @ current u-boot

["André Schwarz" <Andre.Schwarz@matrix-vision.de>]

Today I've stressed my diff a quite a bit and tried several config 
options from other boards that I did _not_ have ...

After adding the config option for skipping the pci host bridge it 
worked again.
Unfortunately I have no clue why since this can hardly cause that ... 
maybe I'll dig a little deeper.

cheers,
Andr?
