Well at least the 3FA: went away, but it still stops at "LI" !
What else could it be?

I have to check the address again. I'm not sure what it says in the bios of
this card (for that, I have to start a MSDOS-program).
I'm wondering, why this module doesn't complain if I give it a wrong io
or irq...
Could this message ("loading device 'eth0' ...
/lib/modules/2.0.29/net/eepro.o init_module: Device or resource busy") mean
something else too?

Okay, but I still don't know where the two commands differ.

(MB ram would be nice for my computer too...)
Actually, I have 50 MB swap.... :-)
Could there be a problem with too much swap?
