Hello, After installing Core 1 and booting for the first time I get stuck with the login screen which doesn't respond to the keyboard (I didn't install X so this is a console login). After a while this error appears: eth0: Host error, FIFO diagnostic register 2000. eth0: PCI bus error, bus status 00a00029 This error appears whenever I ping the machine from another box or when I just wait a while. When I shutdown, remove the nic (a 3Com PCI 3c905 Boomerang) and reboot the same login freezes but I don't get the eth0 error. Also, at boot-up, no error messages are generated and all services start-up cleanly (all green OKs). I understand that the eth0 error is caused by the system failing somewhere else, however I get little feedback otherwise (no other errors). Moreover, I tried running the install cd in rescue mode but it crashed spitting out a nasty run-time error (some libs couldn't be found) so I have to figure out a way to get at the logs. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'll be going through my cds looking for something to use as a rescue kit ;-) regards, Remco ----- AI student Open Source fundamentalist
