Help! I upgraded to potato a few days ago using dselect and I have been having problems. Here is the latest one (and worse one to date!)
After the upgrade, I had two problems that dselect couldn't fix itself. #1 the gcc deb file would not load because of a conflicht with an old libg++. #2 setserial would not configure. Well, I found out via this list that I needed to remove the old libg++ deb to allow the gcc to install... No problem I think... The failure in the dselect config that referenced the setserial said that the modules needed to be rebuilt and to type "update-modules force". Well, I did this and the setserial is now happy, Unfortunately, my system has lost all communications with the network! I am not sure the setserial did it, but it happend the first reboot after I did the two above changes to my system. I looked in my /var/log/kern.log file and found these differences before and after the reboot. The last line in this file has the line date systemname kernel: ne.c No PCI cards found. use "io=0xNNN" values for ISA cards. Prior to the problem (earlier in the file) I had the following: date systemname kernel: ne.c v1.10 9/23/94 Donald Becher (*email address*) date systemname kernel: NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x300 00 50 4e 03 8b d6 date systemname kernel: eth0: NE2000 found at 0x300 using IRQ 3 Does anyone have an idea of what I did? How can I get my networking re-activated? Thanks Doug Thistlethwaite
