It seems the system gets confused. You cannot have two devices on the same address. Apart from this, it should work.

Any help would be appreciated. Try disabling all the devices you don't have, perhaps even the Etherexpress if you don't need it for the installation. Post us the relevant kernel boot messages should you still fail. (Hint: once sysinstall has been started and presents you its welcome screen, hit ScrollLock and PageUp to see the boot messages.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
