I know that disabling the LAN in BIOS works. The problem is that I need the on-board card, since I am trying to build a home router and I need 2 LAN cards for that. And the board has only one PCI slot.

I've Intel DG31PR with almost same Realtek chipset. Disabling / enabling on board LAN from the BIOS works flawlessly.

You can make sure if the board is certified at hardware.redhat.com <http://hardware.redhat.com>.

I guess to test kernal you can use CentOS Live CD and the dmesg tool as well.

Good luck!

   Hi,
   I am trying to install centos on the intel D945GCLF board. It's a
   mini-ITX board with the atom processor and it uses the Realtek
   RTL8102EL LAN chipset. When I disable the on-board LAN card it
   installs  and runs OK, but when I enable it, I get kernel panic at
   boot.
   The board runs perfectlj with Fedora 9 (with the latest kernel) or
   with Ubuntu server.

   My question is: is there some way to run centos on this board
   (test kernel, i can try for example)?
