Thanks for following up. I don't have that machine anymore so I wouldn't know if tg3 is better these days or not :).

Processing old installation reports, I noticed your 2004 report of two problems with the installer: 1) The base install failure (resolved) 2) Kernel 2.6 not detecting and loading the tg3 module for your NIC. The tg3 driver has seen many updates and there have been reports of successful detection since, so I would expect the detection to work now. If the detection of tg3 still doesn't work on your system, it would be great if you could reply to this bug and send the output of lspci and lspci -n. I'm closing this report based on the expectation that tg3 detection should now be working correctly. If this is not the case, please let us know so we can reopen the report. cheers, Max
