Right after the boot proccess finishes and I get the prompt, the following kernel message appears on screen: eth0: network connection down. This is what I found in /var/log/messages: Jul 22 08:58:28 livecd sk98lin: Asus mainboard with buggy VPD? Correcting data.

Chris: Hm, we're using sk98lin in kconfig. I'd suggest to switch to CONFIG_SK98LIN=n # > it's deprecated by kernel devs CONFIG_SKGE=m # \ these two should be able to handle CONFIG_SKY2=m # / all ethernet cards that are handled by sk98lin Any objections?
