I tried to install 7.0 on a computer with an ABIT AV8 motherboard. This board has an integrated NIC and the installer didn't find it. This same machine works just fine with 6.2. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks to all.

I guess sysinstall may have showed you vge(4) was detected on your system. I had some trouble to make vge(4) work on my box but it's different issue. Since GENERIC kernel has vge(4) I don't think loading vge(4) kernel module helps here. Would you show me the output of "pciconf -lcv"? > Thanks to all. -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon
