Can't reboot after installing a Lynksys lne100tx.

[taeuler 0]

I just configured a Lynksys lne100tx, and ran into two problems after setting it up Suse. Fisrt I plan to use this to connect to the internet through a window xp machine, which didn't work, the second problem is that on reboot, Suse hangs, when it tries to start the network card. I also tried booting to a gentoo live cd which failed whil configuring devices. I would like to use the internet connection for a stage 1 gentoo install. Should I just pull the card, and put it back in, or is there a less brute force way?

What version of SuSe are you running?

 

Try this first. Put the NIC in another PCI slot, at least one slot away from the video card and one slot away from an ISA slot, if your system has one. Sometimes the system shares resources with an adjacent ISA slot, or problems occur when placed next to the video card slot.

 

In other words, try another PCI slot. See if the boot completes.

 

If you are using an older version of SuSe, then you may need to install the tulip driver.

I put the card in a different slot and it works. Thanks.
