(Get the code!)
Installation of the the Realtek 8139 network card also fails on my computer. I'm running the version 2.6.15-23-386 kernel (Xubuntu 6.06). When the boot stalls at "8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.27" I can get past the hangup by removing and then reinserting the network cable. The next message in the dmesg log ("PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:0b.0 to 64") is not displayed on the terminal until the boot continues past the stall. Adding "irqpoll" and "noapic" to the boot command line have no effect.
The pertinent sequences from dmesg and lspci are shown in the attached 8139fail.txt.
This same network card worked in this computer with the Breezy Badger release of Xubuntu.
