About 8139too

[飞文染翰]

 I installed ubuntu7.10 on my PC,but when I boot the ubuntu ,it comes very slow.I try to find the problem,then I remove the 'splash' at the grub config during boot time.I found it says 'is not a ...',I don't know what it is .but next, it print 'try 8139too instead',then a long time wait.And after that ,boot without any other question.But while I am going to halt my system ,it also goes slowly,and even most time just stop with the printed 'Now halt the system' on the screen.Why is that?
