    Comments/Problems:

    One big problem was that as you can see in lspci output, i have two
    identical network cards with realtek chipset. Correct driver for
    them is 8139too.

    But with installed kernel one card had 8139too module and second one
    8139cp and didn't work. After compiling and installing my own kernel
    everything work's fine. Friend of me has same problem with RC1
    installer.

    <Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
    and ideas you had during the initial install.>

    There can be warning on the first page of partmen, that we cannot
    boot from lvm disk!

    Don't like exim in base system.

    I need to test, but I think this is a problem with testing hotplug (and discover maybe).

    Even with a single realtek card, the two modules are loaded.
