All the modprobe messages your include in the edited log relate to the "input.o" module. To be honest, I'd never even realized that module existed in Linux. After reading its documentation (in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/input/), I think it is just a prototype module provided as an example for people who want to learn how to write modules. Its described purpose seems unrelated to typical hardware configurations in any case. Perhaps you can tell us why you are loading this module (or if it is loaded as a dependency, what other module is causing modprobe to load it)?Hi people,First --- sorry about not including specific error messages earlier. The attached file is a (snipped) list of bootup messages, and contains the messages I'm concerned with.
The other messages you quote are from ifup, and they say that it cannot configure eth0. These messages viewed alone are not terribly informative, and I would suggest again that you follow the troubleshooting procedure I outlined in my prior message ... boot/init logs are neither the only or, often, the best way to investigate problems. These message taken alone do not tell us if (a) the kernel lacks support for DHCP address requests, (b) the DHCP request works but you get no response from whatever eth0 is connected to, or even, just conceivably, (c) the eth0 interface is not created.
The EXTRAVERSION shell variable is in that file, yes. For the kernel you are describing, the "-14" at the end is the EXTRAVERSION part of the name.I've decided to reinstall, perhaps try a different distro, and see if that will do the trick. And thanks to Lawson for pointing out the EXTRAVERSION point. Just want to make sure about something --- you're talking about /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/Makefile, right?
