Thanks for responding, I ran the commands you suggested and will list the responses.
But
first, I should repeat that I am using Linux-Mandrake 7.1:
#locate eepro100.o
/lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/net/eepro100.o
/lib/modules/2.2.16-9mdk/net/eepro100.o
/lib/modules/2.2.16-9mdksecure/net/eepro100.o
#uname -r
2.2.15-4mdksecure
#depmod -a
#
#reboot
Now when it starts services during boot at the networking section:
Bringing up interface eth0 Delaying eth0 initialization.
[FAILED]
Bringing up interface eth0 Delaying eth0 initialization.
[FAILED]
(at least the insmod/modules path stuff is gone)
Which reminded me that before this problem happened, I used the Mandrake Updater, which
automatically retrieves and installs updated packages/rpm's. I had read that Mandrake
advises against using it for kernel updates, so I de-selected the kernel modules and
ran the
updater. Unfortunately, it seems that the updater installed those modules anyway.
A look in /etc/lilo.conf shows the usual (for me) 2.2.15-4secure kernel, standard
2.2.15-4
kernel, and floppy. But, at the bottom is:
# Add by install-kernel
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-9mdk
label=2.2.16-9mdk
root=/dev/sda6
read-only
optional
# Add by install-kernel
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-9mdksecure
label=2.2.16-9mdksecure
root=/dev/sda6
read-only
optional
The "install" is highlighted in yellow, so I am wondering if I need to run the
"install-kernel" command or if the kernel has already been installed by the updater.
Any suggestions?
