cat /proc/pci and see if it actually sees it as a tulip. Email that to
us Also, what kernel are you running? Earlier tulip drivers were fscked
up AFAIK.

Sounds very scary. I wouldn't try it myself.

you can keep the drive in, install suses, and tell it to mount that drive
as /home and not to format it. I do that with RH all the time when I
upgrade (I do a full reinistall as RH upgrade has never worked for me)
as my /home is on a different partition.
