Comment 3 for bug 87932

Sorry I haven't got back to you.

I can't get the boot process to get as far as running uname -a dmesg, so
I can't give you precise details of the build nor hardware found.

I have tried to recompile the 6.10 kernel with the
CONFIG_8139TOO_OLD_RX_RESET setting, but it still hangs looking for a
valid file system. This might be a nother issue with my kernel build
(built on a VMWare virtual PC) but I haven't had to much chance to
experiment.

I am more than happy to help with the testing of this new release as I
am reduced to running VMWare from Windows or struggling with FreeBSD
(which does boot).

Cheers

John
