Mikkel:
Is there possibly anything wrong with the kernel? I have 2 ethernet
cards, 3Com 10/100 PCI cards. When Red Hat first installed, it set up
modules for these two cards as 3c59x. I believe the correct driver for
these cards is 3c90x, so in the past, as I did this time, I've gone in to
the kernel configuration, made sure I was using what Red hat did by doing
a make oldconfig first, and the only thing I changed was I removed all of
the other cards as modules, and compiled in:
3c90x/3c980 B/C series "Cyclone/Hurricane/Tornado" support
This is exactly what I've done in the past. I recompiled, and the machine
comes back up, apparently normal, and I get no error messages. Possibly
something has changed with these, or the way the kernel now handles
machines with 2 Ethernet cards in them?
