Hi am trying to load a network card driver module(e1000) from an initrd and then configure it at boot time from a DHCP server.
The problem is that the IP-Config bit happens before the RAMDISK is loaded and executed as shown in the dmesg extract below. Surfing around I have found other peoples dmesg output that has the RAMDISK load before the before the IP-Config. Does anyone know how to change this order or is it a kernel version thing. I am on 2.2.16. happened. imm: Version 2.03 (for Linux 2.0.0) scsi : 0 hosts. scsi : detected total. 3Com 3c90x Version 1.0.0d 1999 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3c59x.c:v0.99H 01Aug00 Donald Becker and others http://www.scyld.com/network/vo tex.html IP-Config: No network devices available md.c: sizeof(mdp_super_t) = 4096 Partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 hda10 hda11 hda12 hda13 hda14 > RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 autodetecting RAID arrays autorun ... ... autorun DONE.
