Hmmm... that's comforting to know that the board is prone to "annoyances"... i'm using the 2.4.18_14, although i was planning on updating from the website once i have internet access... apparently i'll be right back where i am though... here's the contents of my modules.conf file (now that i've made the alterations):
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias usb-controller usb-ohci alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd alias eth0 nvnet options nvnet optimization=1 alias sound-slot-0 nvaudio alias usb-interface usb-ohci is there anything missing here???? when i did the lsmod the line with nvnet said: nvnet 30720 1 i'm thinking about posting this on the regular list--see if anybody knows anything about this... but, if you have any ideas for what i could try, please let me know... i really want to get this working!!! thanx for the help so far! ~Erin > Erin, > I use an nforce board, and know the annoyances it can cause.
