i'll try this, thanks.

i eventually figured out that if you boot off the second cd you get the
compact kernel (doh ... been usign debian 5 years and never needed this
before). so it now recognises the controller, but if still fails with a
kernel panic after it recognises ida/c0d0 and finds two eepro100's (i have
to type it in but it looks like this unless i made a typo):
Partition check:
ida/c0d0: ida/c0d0o3
[MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,FAT 0,check=n,conv=b,uid=0,gid=0,umask=022,bmap]
[me=0x0,cs=0,#f=0,fs=0.fl=0,ds ... blah blah
Transaction block size = 512

Transaction block size = 512
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00
any ideas? right now my guess is that it's the compaq smart start
partition that's screwing it up so i'm gonna try and delete that,
re-configure it via the bios interface and see what happens.
