1) I upgraded to the 2.4.18 kernel that I found via dselect. Everything upgraded fine, I added the INITRD specifier in the aboot.conf file and then I discovered that it's not loading the tulip module for the ethernet card. Normally, I would expect to just add an entry to modules.conf but reading those files tells me otherwise.
What should I change to include the tulip module in the boot ramdisk?
If it's eth0, do
echo alias eth0 tulip > /etc/modutils/eth0 update-modules
oh that was at exactly the magic key I needed to know. Extrapolating a bit out on thin ice, I would say that any time you need to load modules at boot time, create a file in /etc/modutils/ with all of the information necessary and then run update-modules. I would further hazard a guess that it's not appropriate to modify existing files but instead create new ones so that when you update the system your changes don't get lost. Correct?
