== Ethernet testing == I decided to try and figure out if the reason the remaining Ethernet was broken was due to me using the wrong type of Ethernet cable: I usually run small cross-over cables from the switch on my desk but the board may need an actual cable. I booted the board and confirmed VGA works, but I was having serious problems with serial garbage. I had to send a break to get the Linux prompt to show itself. Surprisingly, the board no longer acknowledges it has any Ethernet ports. It doesn't seem to show up in lspci either. Really not sure what is happening here. I tried to reboot the board and go in to setup to check that. The delete key didn't work. In fact only some keys on my PS/2 keyboard worked. Same with a USB to PS/2 adapter. I did try to VGA turned garbled very fast while the machine was running. I lifted the board up and found the RAM stick fell out. That's not normal, right? RAM sticks aren't supposed to do that. Also the reset button isn't working. I think this started when working on the VGA port, not the BIOS or Ethernet. I think the next step is clear: Fix the RAM slot.
