Yesterday I installed Mandrake version 9.0 on the system and the loopback 
interface and the ethernet adapter work just fine. I have since re-installed RH 
8.0 to continue this matter. OT: I don't know what they do to their distro's 
file systems, but I sure liked the fact that I could VIEW and USE my NTFS 
partition in addition to ext3

Happens to me running RH 8 on a toshiba satellite 5205-S703.

Removing S05kudzu from /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/ solved this.

Why do we have to do this to even get the operating system up ?
Shame on you guys who put up beta quality software as releases.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
