Trying to install some new AMD64 computers with NForce chipset, I noticed
that the forcedeth driver is missing in the 2.6.16 installation kernel.
Of course, I solved the problem by compiling my own kernel with
"CONFIG_FORCEDETH=y".
Since most newer (939/AM2) AMD motherboards use nforce, I suggest that
forcedeth is added to the standard kernel.
This addition creates a kernel 1314196 bytes large, which is 46084 bytes
more than the default 2.6.16 kernel. In other words: there is still plenty
of space left when creating a fai floppy.
