Try an lsmod output and see if every module is loaded. Most of the stuff is now build modular, compared to 2.4.x. do you have hotplug and/or discover 1/2 installed ? > Second, on boot up dhclient tries eth0 and errors out.

This is due to the order in which hotplug/discover load the modules. The easy answer is to add the corresponding driver in your /etc/modules, to make sure it get loaded before the firewire-eth thingy. The better solution is to fix hotplug/discover to do the right thing. This should be fixed by now, i believe, not sure it made it to sarge though. > The third and final problem, is that none of my battery notifications are > working right now.

Can you try the stock 2.6.7 and tell us if the battery problem also happens there ? Friendly, Sven Luther
