Thanks for the hint, I tried and indeed obtained a little improvement: it
does not hang as with sk98lin. However it still fails to initialise
properly, any trial to connect to anything via that NIC yields a "no route
to host" message. When booting, it issues this cryptic (for me, I do not
speak hexadecimal) message:

skge 0000:00:0a.0 PCI error cmd=0x117 status=0x22b0
skge unable to clear error (so ignoring them)

Nice try, but for the time being I still have no choice but to stick with
the memory hole and thus not having all 4 Gbytes of RAM available...

Bye
Giacomo
