(But it shouldn't have initialized it if asking for "local boot", does it?) However, you could have a look into the code. BTW: Try setting your BIOS to "PNPOS=No" for that board-not-found problem. That seems to have helped several people with similar problems on other NICs. HTH Anselm -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net |
