Hi, Ray:
Thanks. I'll bet I get a lot further this evening when I get
home and try your suggestions. :-)
A thought to the module programmers:
I wonder why, if ne.o needs 8390.o, it doesn't just
go do it its own self!
Kernel install.
I'm vague on that part because I'm vague on kernel installing.
Since my newly created 'zdisk' runs, I'll try 'make install' & 'lilo'
this evening when I get home.
;-)
I think I found the part of rc.inet1 where I was attempting to
isapnp install the NIC. I commented the lines and now the complaint
does not show. :-)
Is is output of the screen messages sent to 'dmesg' or where?
I would make that data available, if I knew how.
I'm sure that the 'Unresolved Symbols' are a bunch of modules (*.o).
It seems to me that there is a 'depmod -a' or similar command
that is supposed to eliminate those messages.
