Sorry I haven't got back to you. I can't get the boot process to get as far as running uname -a dmesg, so I can't give you precise details of the build nor hardware found.
I have tried to recompile the 6.10 kernel with the CONFIG_8139TOO_OLD_RX_RESET setting, but it still hangs looking for a valid file system. This might be a nother issue with my kernel build (built on a VMWare virtual PC) but I haven't had to much chance to experiment. I am more than happy to help with the testing of this new release as I am reduced to running VMWare from Windows or struggling with FreeBSD (which does boot).
