Rick,
modprobe.conf is as follows
[root at localhost Documents]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 8139too
alias scsi_hostadapter pata_sis
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
The machine hangs at gathering IP information. It does not move any further. To achieve a connection on this machine, I disconnect the ethernet cable and manually assign it an IP. What could be wrong here?
While the device is disconnected booting goes on as normal.
dmesg shows this
