Ok, this is getting confusing so I will just post the issues in this one
mailing and hope I get some good answers.
I am having 2 problems with my Mandrake 7.1 install (these were the ISO
images available online).
#1) On bootup the Emu10k1 driver fails. I followed the detailed instructions
given at the newbielinux website on installing the latest driver and when I
do the modrpobe I get this:
# modprobe emu10k1
/lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/misc/emu10k1.o: init_module: Device or resource
busy /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/misc/emu10k1.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/misc/emu10k1.o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/misc/emu10k1.o: insmod emu10k1 failed
I saw that Creative actualy has new drivers but are designed for Kernel
2.2.5 and I have a previous one.
Should I upgrade the Kernel to support the Creative Drivers? If not what can
I do at this point to use the emu10k1 one?
#2) I am not able to get my ethernet card working. At least I think that is
the problem. I see eth0 successfully initialize on boot up but when I do a
"netstat -ni" all I see is lo. I am not able to ping anything, even the
ethernet address of a directly connected box.
It was suggested that I check to see if the loopback address was removed, I
have not checked this yet.
Not sure where to go with this one at all.
Thanks for any help!
Joe
