openMosix A7N8X nForce2 network problem

[mbatten]

I have succesfully installed the linux.2.6.7-gentoo-r5 kernel with networking configured properly thanks to the experimental nVidia driver built into the kernel. I then installed the linux-2.4.22-openmosix-r9 kernel and have it working, but it won't load the network. I get:

Failed to bring eth0 up
Failed to bring eth1 up
Error: Problem starting needed services.
"netmount" was not started.

I downloaded the NVIDIA driver package from www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.0-0274.tar.gz while in my properly working gentoo-r5 kernel. Then rebooted to the openmosix kernel, switched to the download directory and:

# tar -xvzf NVIDIA....tar.gz
# cd nforce
# make
# make install

All in accordance with the guide on http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.0-0274/ReleaseNotes.html

I then did:

# nano -w /etc/modules.conf

and added:

alias eth0 nvnet
alias sound-slot-0 nvaudio
alias usb-interface usb-ohci

then saved and exited. Then:

# modprobe nvnet
# modprobe nvaudio
# modprobe usb-ohci

I then added the aliases to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 so that the list looks like:

3c59x
nvnet
nvaudio
usb-ohci

Then I did
# modules-update
and got 6 "Unresolved symbols..." errors for 3c59x.o, dummy.o, nvnet.o, ac97_codec.o, i810_audio.o, and nvaudio.o.

Anyone know what to do to get these modules working?

Maybe there should be a forum section for openMosix so that threads can be easier to find and discuss?

Hi,

I hope I'm not too late

I tried to install the latest openMosix Kernel yesterday and I had the same probs. But the probs came only with the gigabit-Lan Marvell-Yukon Card. What to do ?
