debian stable version (installation problems)
Hello:
Using the netinst CD , I'm trying to install the stable version of debian,
(i386)
The PC has an Realtek onboard network card, I faced some errors installing,
so, I decided to desactivate it an added a 3com905 network card, with this
one the card's configuration procces passed whitout error, BUT
after the first reboot this error appears even on the debian's starting
process
(I took this lines from /var/log/kern.log)

I got into the BIOS setup and disabled sound, games, and everything possible
that could be associated to an IRQ
I had on this PC one DIM of 1 GB , and another DIM of 256 MB, checking this
log file I found this segment too

I tried putting one dim of 256 , and another of 128, but the problem
continued
In the same PC I tested using knoppix 3.8, having both network cards
activated, and after a few minutes without any problem reported, I waved on
internet .
Thanks in advance for any help
