 |
|
| When using the 2004.1 live cd i had problems with it detecting my network card so i used modprobe 8139too to get it to work. Now that gentoo is installed though i have to type modprobe 8139 every round to get the network card to work. I entered 8139too in my my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6.5-gentoo-r1 and it doesnt seem to work. I still have to type modprobe 8139too every time i reboot. Any suggestions? |

PEETIE,
You should have a symbolic link called /etc/modules.autload that points to one of the files in /etc/modules.d like this | Code: | ls -l /etc/modules.autoload
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 29 Jan 27 20:45 /etc/modules.autoload -> modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |
If its missing create it with | Code: | | ln -s /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 /etc/modules.autoload |
==============edit=================
This file | Quote: | | /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6.5-gentoo-r1 |
should be called /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 because it applies to all 2.6 kerenels
