Network card and Firewire exchange device file on every boot

necroshine · n00b Joined: 16 Apr 2005 Posts: 5

I've installed gento 2005.0 with success, but I have a problem I cannot solve, every time I boot the ethernet card and the firewire exchange the device file.

Ex:

Network card -> eth0
Firewire ->eth1

On next boot

Network card -> eth1
Firewire ->eth0

etc...

With the system going like this I cannot put the network to start when the system starts.
Any one knows how to solve this?

Thanks

Create a file in "/etc/modules.d/" directory assigning the modules (if you compiled them as modules to the devices):

well...I must be doing something wrong because it still doesn't work.
just to make sure, the name of the file that must reside in the /etc/modules.d/ is "local" right?

Thanks for your time.

The name of the file isn't important, you can choose, just that it resides in "/etc/modules.d".

I knew I was doing something wrong. I forgot to do the modules-update when I made the last changes.

Now It works fine.

Thanks for your help.
