Hi,
	I am trying to have a play with the 2.4 kernel test series, but my
system hangs on booting when trying to bring up eth0
(2.4.0test10,11,12). Everything worked fine for 2.4.0test11-ac3.
	I booted into single user on the machine then tried to bring up eth0,
the only message in the kernel log file was:

Dec  7 11:58:14 localhost kernel: eth0: using NWAY autonegotiation 

then nothing more, no keyboard response, no activity whatsoever followed
by the reset button and a long fsck.

The kernel messages for the interface initialisation were:

Dec  7 11:55:37 localhost kernel: 3c59x.c:LK1.1.11 13 Nov 2000  Donald
Becker and others. http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html $Revision:

	Email me for more information if required.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
	Richard
