As the various boot messages whizz up the console, check that the hardware
is being detected:
Installed expansion cards:
8: [0046:011E] Acorn Risc PC/A7000 interface � i-cubed ltd, EtherLan 600 (...)
Then check that you've downloaded and installed the appropriate set of
modules from the ARM Linux FTP site:
<ftp://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/armlinux/distrib/kernels/modules-rpc.tar.gz>
This needs unpacking with 'tar xvzf <filename>'. This will gunzip and
untar all in one go. Make sure you are logged in as root and sitting in
the / directory before you do this. The modules will be unpacked to
/lib/modules/2.0.35 (or whatever).
Getting the modules from the FTP site without a working network card is
left as an exercise for the reader :-) Options include mounting the floppy
drive (/dev/fd0) as /floppy or your ADFS hard disk partition (/dev/hda1) on
/adfs.
The device driver you need lives in /lib/modules/2.0.35/net/etherh.o (or
similar). This will be inserted automagically at boot time provided you
add the following line to /etc/conf.modules:
alias eth0 etherh
Then reboot, and hopefully the Ethernet should come alive.
Other things worth checking are /etc/sysconfig/network and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.
