Hi all, first, thanks to Andrew and Rich for your suggestions.
I got home a few minutes ago, and watched the boot sequence again. I noticed that when eth0 was coming up (that is the interface that is connected to the isp), it was taking unusually long, then dhcpcd was failing. However, eth1 was coming up the way it was supposed to. I recompiled the tulip driver as a module, then, just for grins, I switched the physical connections on the pc. This solved the problem. In other words, the nic that the 2.4 series kernel called eth0 is now eth1 under 2.6 and vice versa. Definitely strange. I'm not sure what would cause that, but my problem appears to be solved. :-) Thanks, William -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
