[luau] hardware issues

[John Corry]

I had a hardware problem...red hat 7.3 machine wouldn't boot...just sat and
beeped when I powered it up.

So, I took out the only hardware that had not been working, a SoundBlaster
Live!Value sound card.

Machine boots, BUT
in the boot sequence...
Bringning up interface eth0
sits there for a long time and ultimately fails. Says its unable to find a
IP for eth0. The IP should be coming from DHCP on my linksys dsl 'router'.

What should I do?

thanks,
John Corry
