Comments/Problems:
The above output (lspci and such) was obtained from a sarge I have in
another partition: /dev/hda3. I was attempting to install etch on
/dev/hda4.
The installation went smoothly until it was time to install the boot
loader. I skipped the grub step, because this sistem has always been
booted using lilo, and I see no reason to shange now. My emergency boot
floppy contains am MBR written by lilo.
However, lilo did not work. It seemed to start OK, and advanced until
the screen said:
Installing LILO 75%
Running LILO for /dev/hda
And then nothing happened any more, although I could still switch
consoles with Ctl-alt-F2.
Eventually I rebooted to the sarge I had stashed away in /dev/hda3,
using my emergency boot floppy, and reconfigured and ran its lilo so
as to reestablish a working MBR. But although lilo ren, even with an
added stanza for the new etch system, only the old sarge system would
boot.
I was surprised during network recognition that it found me two ethernet
interfaces: the sarge system only recognises one.
