Hi David,

I'm having problems posting this to the message board, hence sending this email directly to you:

***********snip************** Just thought I'd say thanks to David - his image works with the new Dell Optiplex 755's in ATA mode (the normal kernel allows AHCI, but no CD-ROM).

All I needed to get a fully working system, was to put in the Intel Ethernet drivers for the 82566DM chip it uses. This was stupidly easy - get the tar ball from Intel, run 'rpmbuild -tb e1000-7.6.9.tar.gz ; then rpm -iv the package.

Of course I'm hoping that Redhat 5.1 will include all these patches, but do we know when this is coming out? Would it be too cheeky to ask David Hrbac to roll the Intel e1000 drivers into his next iso delta....? ***********snip**************

many thanks

Jake

Hi Jake, thanks. Maybe I could extend those install DVD with some rpms. I vote for these two for now: e1000 r8198 Regards, David
