Thank Greg, But that didn't help. I knew about lsmod, my problem was that ifconfig was missing. I have since found ifconfig.lrp.
I had been doing a partial backup of modules.lrp. I tried a full backup, and now the drivers are attempting to load, but I still get the insmod errors: INSMOD: not an ELF file INSMOD: Could not load the module: No such file or directory That seems to tell me that they do not like the way the files have been created, like they were compiled with the wrong libraries. I doubt that is the case, since 8390 and ne are likely to be heavily used by others. Is there an additional package I should load before the modules. Here is my syslinux.cfg: display syslinux.dpy timeout 0 default linux append=load_ramdisk=1 initrd=root.lrp initrd_archive=minix ramdisk_size=8192 root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/fd0u1680,msdos PKGPATH=/dev/hda:iso9660 LRP=etc,ramlog,local,ifconfig,modules,dhclient,dhcpd,dnscache,weblet,dhttpd, dhis,web This is from my boot floppy, and it seems that it ignores the additions to the LRP line. Any suggestions on that one?
