HD Install :: New HD install problems

Newbie here.

I ran DSL from Live CD for a week or so on an old Toshiba 2505 laptop. Everything seemd to be OK, even got wireless LAN working. Very cool.

So I go ahead and install from HD and make it permanent (and useful again). Now I get the following on boot after install.

PCMCIA found, starting cardmgr.
cardmgr[52]: starting, version is 3.3.3
cardmgr[52]: socket 0: PROXIM LAN PC CARD HARMONY 80211B
cardmgr[52]: executing: 'modprobe hermes'
cardmgr[52]: executing 'modprobe orinoco'
cardmgr[52]: executing :'modprobe orinoco-cs'
cardmgr[52]: executing './network start eth0'
cardmgr[52]: + Debian network setup
cardmgr[52] + /sbin/ifup eth0
cardmgr[52] + ifup: Ignoring unknown interface eth0
.....
.....
Network device eth0 detected, DHCP broadcasting for IP. (Backgrounding)
.....

sr0: CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST.
Loading /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.kmap.gz

box login: eth0: Error -110 setting multicast list

At this point the startup just hangs.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Bill

Problem fixed.I'm not 100 percent sure why, but after re-installing and setting proper swap file, all seems to be much, much better.

DSL has brought new life to an old laptop that might have otherwise been junked.
