I was very excited when the AV Wizard came up without a hitch. After completing the setup, I went first to the Web Admin to check the network settings and enable net booting.

			It turned out that I needed to leave the IP assignment as default for the core for the internal IP. There are some hard-coded values that rely on this assignment. For some reason this also affects the External IP. Once I set it back to default I was good to go.

			My MD was not net booting, and after talking with TSCHAK, I found out that I have to upgrade to 0810. My MD needs the forcedeth driver and this is, quote: "severely broken in 0710."

			The Change to 0810 has been less than smooth. I had success installing a clean 0810 kubuntu intrepid release (from the 0810 alpha 2 page). I upgraded successfully (aptitude update & dist-upgrade), and downloaded the install scripts.

			I thought that the install scripts worked fine, as I was able to run all three, and got the AV wizard after restart. But then I got another error ... On to Troubleshooting again.

Kernel Panic on MD netboot

			Thanks to ''TSCHAK'' I now know that forcedeth is "severly broken under 0710" ... so I'll need to upgrade (reinstall) with 0810.

			I needed to be on the correct subnet (80) ... I didn't realize that this would be such a big deal, but changing back to 192.168.80.1 for the '''''internal''''' IP of my Core solved this problem. A little counter intuitive in my opinion, but it solved the problem.

			Thank you to ''colinjones'' from the forums for the help on this one!

			So, it looks like I'll need to get the forcedeth driver according to this: (which I ran on a live distro)
			ethtool -i eth0:
			driver: forcedeth
			version: 0.61
			firmware-version:
			bus-info: 0000:00:0a.0
