I finally got a chance to play with the update 2 stuff on my gigabit machines. The results were not encouraging. I have several broadcom 82545EM gigabit cards. They worked fine with a kickstart cd made from the update1 cd. They did *not* work when booted with an update2 cd. The e1000 on some of my motherboards failed to work either either. I've been making the isolinux portion of my kickstart cd, by copying the parts right off disc1. Is there a more correct way to be doing this? Did update2 solve other people's problems? seph
