after i copied modules.conf to /target/etc and rerun the
installation of the eepro module it worked ...

well i don't think the K7M from asus has old bioses on board :).
well i don't know that much about hardware detecting so was some
wild explanation. the problem with ram only arises with this
athlon system. iirc when i set up a pentium and/or alpha system
the amount of ram was correctly detected by the kernel.
*hmm*, i don't know, but if i have 128mb of ram and just 64 mb is
detected and this "problem" could be common then it would be
useful if this is explicitly mentioned in the docs. maybe i
misunderstand the whole issue then tell me more (or not and i die
as a dumb person ;)).
so long
