I installed the sarge-backports yaird and modified /etc/kernel-pkg.conf to say "ramdisk=mkinitrd.yaird" and then ran "dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.15-1-amd64-k8-smp" which seemed to cause the ramdisk to be rebuilt using yaird. As you explained this meant that the network drivers were not loaded by the initrd. I still couldn't get my local udev rules to rename the interfaces on startup though. In the end I just disabled the e100 in the BIOS - I hope that the two tg3s will always be discovered in the same order... :-) Thanks for all your help. I think I'd like to log a bug report about this though. Is udev the best package to do that against? -- Mike Crowe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
