see the ethernet, now you don't....

["Robert L. Harris" <Robert.L.Harris@rdlg.net>]

  Installed a new box off Woody install disks and net.  Looks good, 
customizing to be inhabited.  This is a Dell PowerEdge 1300.

  Off the install disks it loads OEM i85527/85528 driver for what is supposed
to be an eepro card.

  I download 2.4.12, configure the eepro into the kernel per the norm and
reboot, no eth...  Try as a module, no eth.

  I revert to the install kernel,  it loads eth0 just fine, I make note of
the IRQ and Addr.  Put append="ether=11,0x7000" into my lilo.conf and reboot
again.  No eth...

WTF?
  

:wq!
