 |
|
So here are the messages that I get after I get a successful boot.
module 3c59x failed to load
Failed to bring eth0 up
Error Problem starting needed services
"netmount" was not started.
here is my code listing
/etc/modules.autoload
3c59x
According to WinXP I have a
3Com 3C920 Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller (3C905C-TX) Compatible)
I have all my 3COM drivers as modules
Where do I go from here?
Thanks alot
Nathan |

That should do it. It is easier to compile it into the kernel. Why dont you just do that?
If it doesnt help locate the 8139too.o file and do

Please include error messages.
Why didnt they work. Are you sure that your netcard is a realtek card?
Maybe this thread will help you.
How do you check if you can locate your pci bus? What does cat /proc/pci say? |

modprobe 8149too
-----
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
insmod 8149too.o
-----
insmod:8149too.o: no such file or directory
cat /proc/pci
----
No such file or directory
thanks

Well ok. I said you had to locate the 8139too.o file. That means to go into /lib/modules and search for a file named just that and do
| Code: |
insmod /path/to/file/8139too.o
|
Are you sure you are using the kernel you just compiled?
Did you remember to mount /boot before you copied the bzImage?
Other ways to find files:
| Code: |
# find /lib/modules -name 8139too.o
# locate 8139too.o
|
locate only works if you have an updated locate db. |

Ahh - no. That is his problem if he didnt forget to check it when he configured the kernel. I hope he saw that he was typing the wrong module and sorted it out. We wont know that before he post again at least.
Thank you for pointing it out. |

I don't think he's posting the REAL input/output ... there's no way 8149 would load 8139too.o , and anyway , 8139too (Real-Tek Fast PCI Ethernet) driver cannot find the VendorID/ProductID codes for his device , which suggests he don't have a RealTek , or is it a 3COM or is it ..well...
Why dont you come back when you know what damm system you have , cos if you dont, then how the heck can we!!
