hi, it sounds very much you have reversed the order of your ethernet declarations in /etc/modules.conf
also, check your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-e* scripts for extraneous entries. cheers Christopher CUSE -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Michael Fratoni Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2003 5:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Strange modprobe error logged -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Wednesday 26 March 2003 07:45 pm, Fred Janssen Groesbeek wrote: > Hello members of redhat-list, > > There was a strange modprobe error logged on a RH7.3- > based linuxbox telling it could not probe eth1-eth7 > (See attached excerpt from /var/log/messages). > I have no clou what caused it.

It's the result of some application trying to probe ethernet devices 0 -7. I know I can reproduce it if I run mii-tool without specifying the device.
