There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)

Reboot:                 [ ]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:
The tg3 NIC was not recognized by kernel 2.6, but was detected and configured by
kernel 2.4.
Installing the base system failed at between 80 and 90 % under both 2.4 and 2.6.
It was impossible to continue past the error.  I dropped back to the beta 4
installer image and was able to install.  Under beta 4 I still had to install
under 2.4 so that the NIC was operational, but was able to upgrade to 2.6 after
the installation as complete.

Thank you for following up. 

Processing old installation reports, I noticed your 2004 report
of two problems with the installer: 

 1) The base install failure (resolved)
 
 2) Kernel 2.6 not detecting and loading the tg3 module for your
    NIC. The tg3 driver has seen many updates and there have been
    reports of successful detection since, so I would expect the
    detection to work now. If the detection of tg3 still doesn't
    work on your system, it would be great if you could reply to
    this bug and send the output of lspci and lspci -n.

I'm closing this report based on the expectation that tg3
detection should now be working correctly. If this is not the
case, please let us know so we can reopen the report.

cheers,
Max
