Re: Install help, ne module does not reload on reboot (potato)

2000-01-10 Thread Shaul Karl
Isn't the 8390 module needed as well? Try to insmod it before the ne module.


   I am trying to install the latest potato
 
   I have an ISA NE2000 clone. it worked fine when i booted from the
   rescue disc. Ieben installed the base system over NFS. It's IO is at
   0x280, and it's IRQ is 5. 
 
   Howeer this module fails to install when booting from the hard disk :-(
   I even find the following in /etc/modutils/modconf:
 
   options ne io=0x0280 irq=5
 
   Trying to do in insmod ne results in messages about unresolved symbols.
   They are:
 
   ei_open, ethdev_init, ei_interupt, NS8390_init, and ei_close.
 
   Can some kind soul please tell me how to fix this, so I can proced with
   the install?
 
   Thanks.

The ne module requires the 8390 module; if you use modprobe
instead of insmod, it should load this automatically.
Alternatively, try
 # insmod 8390 ; insmod ne
Best of all would be to ensure that the file /etc/modules
contains a line with just
ne
which should ensure that the module is automatically loaded at
boot (come to think of it, if you loaded it during the install
it should already be there; arfe you sure it isn't already loaded?
Try
 # lsmod
to see a list of currently loaded modules).

is that what is in the file? note the extra 0 in there .. if all else
fails you can try a manual insmod ne.o io=0x280 irq=5 and set that up to
load in /etc/init.d/network (i never really touched the /etc/modules file
until rather recently and ive been usin linux for almost 4 years! ack..)
