Maybe I should put another (temporary) NIC in the machine to do the

Just to finish this thread (maybe someone gets a P5GD1 also) I already
got the NIC of this board working:
- Installed with a temporary NIC to do the network installation
- Installed 2.6 version ("linux26" at lilo prompt) because with normal
(2.4) version the ICH6R and therefore the SATA disks were not seen
- Compiled Marvell NIC support using the driver from
http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/htm/sk9e21_lin.htm
Very easy to do it:
a) get the kernel header corresponding to you kernel-image
b) ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-xxxx /usr/src/linux
c) unpack driver package obtained above
d) run ./install.sh
e) pick "user installation", choose "Y" and your module will be compiled
, placed in /lib/modules... and loaded!
Have fun!
