Having solved the problem of booting -- thanks for all the advice -- , the next & hopefully remaining obstacle is that Dhcpcd can't find Eth0.
I've used 'lspci | grep Eth', which gives "Realtek Semiconductor RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)", so I enabled CONFIG_REALTEK_PHY in the kernel, but no improvement. 'syslog' lists "Gigabit Ethernet Driver loading ... eth0 : RTL8168e/8111e ... ": do those "e's" make a difference ? The mobo manual mentions "LAN RJ45" & "PCIe Gigabit LAN"; a mobo review via Google mentions "LAN: Qualcomm Atheros Gb LAN". The mobo is P5G41T-M LX PLUS by Asus. Does anyone have suggestions ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
