OK.....this was definitely one of things you put on your list of "Stupid Things I'll never do again".
My 1st problem was that I would burn the ISO and then copy it all to my hdd and massage the packages back and forth on the CD-RW. Little did I know that making an ISO image and just plain burning a CD are 2 different things. (I know now!) among some other issues of the LRP packages not backing up correctly for some reason after I poked around with the 'zcat' and comparing the actual files on the floppy versus the CD. (most likely resulting from previous problem) I decided that since I could go to 2 different computers and have the same problem that it was me and not the computer. So I made a clean RC5 ISO burn and the stuff in the Floppy that I spent the last 5 days building and tweaking.........booted it up and Viola! Everything worked on the 1st try. I think wasting the 50 cents a CD would have been better than using a CD-RW to start with. I do have to say that after almost a year trying to get the Java BW meter running on LRP and now seeing it in Weblet....this Rocks! ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles Steinkuehler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Alec Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; LEAF <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 8:40 AM Subject: Re: [Leaf-user] Dachstein-CD RC4: loading modules > I have no errors that appear in the info prior to the logon. > > I can use 'insmod' and load the network card drivers by hand off the CD, > then everything works.

Boot= should be the floppy disk, and pkgpath.cfg should list your CD. Verify when the modules package is loaded, it's loading from both the main package from the CD, and your local configuration from the floppy. Unpack modules.lrp on your floppy, and make sure etc/modules contains what you expect. To do this, mount your floppy, cd to /tmp, and run "zcat /mnt/modules.lrp | tar -xv". Then edit /tmp/etc/modules and verify it's contents... If there are any problems, edit /etc/modules as desired. Verify it works by running "svi modutils start"...you will get errors about any modules already loaded, which you can ignore or make go away by removing all modules prior to this test (use rmmod <module> and lsmod). Once all modules are loading correctly manually, backup modules, making sure you set the backup type to 'partial', and the destination to 'fd0'. If you still can't get things running, the only other thing to try is going back to the 'old' way of loading modules, from /lib/modules instead of directly from the CD. Copy the modules you need to /lib/modules, edit /etc/modules as required (remove the ! commands), and do a FULL backup of modules to your floppy.
