    Comments/Problems:

    1) The PCI-Card of the SATA-Controller (Adaptec 1210SA [Silicon Image chip]), was not detected and thus I could not even install it. SATA has been around
    for quite a while by now and should be supported IMHO.

    2) Also I am wondering, why when booting with "expert26" at the boot prompt,
    I am able to choose at the network hardware detection IDE, Floppy, USB, etc modules where only network modules make sense.

    3) Could "ipchains" not be installed with a Kernel >= 2.4?

    4) Last of all I am wondering if it is possible to automate at least most of the things for generating installation reports, e. g. by some shell scripts ;)

    Could you please send us lspci -n output to go with the lspci output you
    sent, so we can update our hardware database?
