Well, I'm glad I wasn't *completely* out of it :-)

I don't know for sure, but I have

  kernel: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 01:0e.0. Please
  try again using pci=biosirq.
  kernel:  eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xcc8d0000,
  00:98:47:02:ecL78, IRQ 0

in v/ar/log/messages so I'm going to with '0' if anything.

I'd try using pci=biosirq except that I currently have to boot from CD
and then boot the installed system; for some reason lilo gets started but
then cannot load the FS.  Haven't tracked that one down yet :-/


% 
% When the kernel boot, is there any error messages?

Not on the screen (that we haven't seen so far), and nothing else in the
messages file.


Thanks again & HAND

:-D
