> I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop that has a built in Intel PCI  NIC.  
> The BIOS for the NIC is PXE version 2.1.
> The server is running K12LTSP 4.4.1
> 
> The boot up goes past the un compressing Linux  and starts loading 
> services.  At this point I get an error message that indicates that the 
> server cannot identify the NIC and seems to think it is an ISA NIC.  The 
> next line is the Kernel panic- attempted to kill init.

> Does anyone have any suggestions on how I go about fixing this problem?
