    Hello. I recently installed RH9 on my old hard drive in an XP system
(Athlon 2100+, 512 Mb of PC2100 RAM, 120 Gb master HD, 60 Gb slave HD). It
seemed to install pretty smoothly and GRUB is handling my boot options, but
I have a couple of issues I'm unable to work out so far.
    On problem is I can't get Linux to recognize the onboard Ethernet
adaptor (NForce 2 chipset) on my Biostar M7NCD Pro board. I've hunted around
and found a RH8 driver, but that does not seem to work. Does anyone know of
a working driver for this setup? Seems like someone would gotten this to
work by now.
    The next issue is once in a while GRUB will give an error (I know I
should be supplying the error, but I don't remember what it is - I'm hoping
this is common enough someone will know anyway) and I have to restart to
make it come up. Is there a known issue with it that I can upgrade away
from? It's a pain for my wife who needs to use XP on this system and of
course it always happens to her when I'm at work. If I can't get it
resolved, I think I'll have to build up a second system to keep Linux on one
and Windows on the other, but I'd really rather not have to do that.
    If I do have to split out my systems, can anyone tell me a good way to
remove GRUB and restore my original Windows boot setup?
    Thanks!
