Instead of clicking the "send" button, try something else _first_. I have done this so many times I lost count, and I (almost) never need to do this. Heck, it's bad enough I talk to myself audibly....
LOL - funny... I thought I was being helpful in letting the list know I had gotten past the install point with using noprobe.
I do still have issues with the rtl8169 module blowing up. The second comment was just geared towards hoping someone else might have a suggestion on the rtl8169 device no working and perhaps there was some other OBSCURE command line argument that might help on boot...
Have a great day.
