| Working with an 3com network card, it worked during install, but not now. I installed the card in my kernel, but i'm getting a strange error message "netmount was not started" but i have no clue what it means-help please! |

did you load the module?
modules.autoload in etc??
is it a module or in kernel?
did you compile for the right card there are a few available ?

hold on a minute!!!!!!
did you compile these cards as modules on did you compile it into the kernel???
only if you compiled them as modules you have to load the module for your card during bootup!!
since there is no module for that card if you compiled it into the kernel (except you did compile your kernel with this "driver" as a module before)
loading a module in a kernel which has this module compiled into it's self maybe crashes your system/kernel! |

If you boot from the livecd you can run the command "lsmod" to list
the modules it loaded. You will be able to tell which module is the right
one for your network card. Then you can select the correct options
to build your own kernel. |
