Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] VMware ESX Server

[drew e. <dre...@gm...>]

Got past that problem.  Had to get into the BIOS which was easier
said than done and change the boot order.

Now I've got to get my virtual nics configured.

VMware is emulating a couple of AMD 79c970.

It complains that:

lance.c: Module autoprobing not allowed.  Append "io=0xNNN" value(s).

How do I figure out what NNN is?
