It uses the tulip driver and cannot apparently be detected or autoprobed during the install, but can be hand-configured with a tool as simple as linuxconf afterward. Once that is done, it should be visible on boot UNLESS you have PNP enabled in the BIOS. The detection of an ISA modem on install is tricky and depends partly on the motherboard BIOS settings. For best results just put /dev/ttyS1 as your modem in kppp Civileme I boot the system, eth0 fails, (ybind also) everything else works great, I use Drake conf to configure the network (it already has the IP and Domain values, I just go though it to get to the "restart networking" prompt) then say yes to restart and every thing works fine.

Re: [expert] HELP - eth0 fails on boot, works on restart?
Might be a very basic question, but do you have an alias for eth0 in /etc/modules.conf? I have one which says alias eth0 tulip Balaji On Tuesday 23 January 2001 15:49, you wrote: Greetings all -- I need help!!

Re: [expert] HELP - eth0 fails on boot, works on restart?
Balaji, that fixed the problem! eth0 starts on boot with no problems. It is amazing how the little things can keep you stuck for hours and hours and hours. Thanks again for your great help.
