Hi.
I'm booting an NFS-root machine with bootp, and that works almost fine.
The problem is that I have 2 3c509tp cards in the machine. I have of
course compiled the driver into the kernel. The problem is that only one
of the NICs is detected by the kernel on boot. So when the system starts
up, I only have eth0. If I try to 'ifconfig eth1 ipaddr', eth0 seems to
be reconfigured, as I loose contact with the nfs filesystem, and all I can
do is reboot. After a lot of trying with this, I decided to just try to
load the kernel module, even though the driver is compiled into the
kernel. What happens then is that both cards are detected, and I
immediately lose access to the nfs-filesystem again. I do not know if it
is even supposed to work to load the module when the driver is already in
the kernel, but this is what happens when I try :)
I'd appreciate any tips on how to get this working.
