Ohhh.. is that the reason why /boot can never be reiserfs type? Or should I try and boot my machine from a floppy, format /boot and let try and rewrite it? Not worth the trouble! Right now only my /boot [16mb] is ext2, all the rest is Reiser and installation completed yesterday only. Will try and see something today... So what? All the rest 8 GB is wonderfully Reiser [till the next crash, for which I am gonna try my best] > I think even that is possible if you compile reiser support into the kernel > itself, and not as a module.

I am going to try recompiling a kernel with UDMA support, APM support, N other supports and have a pentium optimized kernel for myself rather than SuSE stock kernel.

Modprobe it, and it will load the 8029.o module automatically. Been through the HOWTO. Offers interesting reading. Also talks about why some cards, during modprobe itself hang the machine :-D. YaST does it the moment you need to configure the network [You have the option]. I have loaded the same module. There seems to be some problem with the card and interface... may be dust? Unlikely. I will see and report results tomorrow. > will have to filter out the network card specific line from there - this file > has info on all the PCI devices on your computer. OK. Will do. Configuring network today... hmm... golly, can't wait till it is three PM. Office se bhago re baba.
