I am experiencing an intersting situation with OpenSuse 9.2. I installed it on a Compaq/HP (pentium-iv) and the network worked great for quite a while in 2005. Then, for some reason, it could not find the network card during boot and "ifconfig" did not show any eth interface, no network either. I tried yast and the device is there and configured. When the system boot, I get a message "/dev/mapper/control" cannot be found. Then, the system waits for a required device (the eth0 device) but it cannot be found so it fails. The network fails right after. When I sign on on the KDE and go to yast, the network card shows OK.
I took the disk (ide with OpenSuse 9.2) into another PC where I know for a fact the network card is working (it had Win/XP). After KDE added the new controllers and network card, I went to yast and deleted the old network card and activated the new one (new PC). I rebooted and the same thing, It can't find the eth0 at boot time. Same message. any ideas before I reinstall everything? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
