Hello, OK so I'm now running udev-196-r1; booting fine now.
upon reboot: net.eth0 [ stopped ] net.eth3 [ started ] netmount [ stopped ] sshd [ stopped ] eth0 is the mobo ethernet port, and it is fried. I have not used it in years. eth3 is an add on 100M ethernet card that has worked flawlessly. It is working fined still. /etc/conf.d/eth3 is set up and works just fine. The easiest thing to do to fix this problem is unmap the eth0 hardware. Where best to do that? from lspci: 00:07.0 Bridge: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 Ethernet (rev a2) <mobo> 1:06.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 (rev 41) Ideas on how to best fix this? Make the Nvidia ethernet chip invisible and the dec ethernet chip will automaticall be eth0? Other ideas? James
