Package: Install Version: Sarge
Hi, I have recently (2 weeks ago) installed Sarge using a recent netinstall cd image on an old PII at home. I selected the 2.6 kernel. The PC has a ISA NE2000 ethernet card which is *not* PNP (it is about 10years old). The installation went OK (needed to tell it the kernel module to use and irq/io address). However when rebooted the ethernet card would not work, unless I insmod'ed the ne module with the irq=0x340 option. It turns out that the insaller had set up these options in the /etc/modules.conf instead of /etc/modprobe.conf. Copying the options file across fixed the problem. I suggest the installation process needs a minor 2.6 update for these situations. Regards Chris Phillips -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
