Description Georg Stadler 2003-03-15 06:41:31 UTC
Booting with no options ends at:
---Scanning for advansys    [System hangs]

booting with "noscsi" ends gives out error:
... 8139cp.o init_module: no such device

and ends at:
* Autodedect Network modules
* Scanning for de4x5         [System hangs]

typing "insmod 8139.o" after boot also produces the above error code

All system components tested under Windows - working just fine 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot from cd
2. enter no boot options
3. see what happens ;)

Actual Results:  
System freezes - hard reset neccessary


hard to do without any net connection...
