Bug#350375: more information

["Pierrot" <PierrotIV@mac.com>]

Hi,

I found out that the problem doesn't come from the sk98lin but from the 
support of a PCI-Express motherboard on kernel 2.6.8.

It is just not supported !

If you use 2.6.11 or higher it works.

That is why it worked with Ubuntu : kernel on install and live CDs are 
2.6.11 (or 12 not sure).

My workaround was to install from a network working system by using 
debootstrap (from a linux live cd like knoppix or ubuntu) or vmware (from 
windows) then you cook a kernel like 2.6.15 and you got a "working" sk98lin.

Once again, hope this helps.
