[Leaf-user] Can't save etc.lrp - modules don't load
Hi there, I'm booting Dachstein from a floppy which then reads packages from the latest Dachstein CD. The problem I'm experiencing is, I think, that the changes I am trying to make to /etc/modules are not being saved on to the floppy. I'm not entirely sure I've understood the config process for a Dachstein floppy and CD combination so I've set out my assumptions below in case I've got the concept wrong... If I understand it correctly, I need to modify /etc/modules to remove the comments from the modules that I need and then save the file - as one would with E2B. I then need to back up the /etc system on to the floppy so that the modified etc.lrp gets loaded on boot. So that is what I am doing. I am seeing a back up menu item for: 2) etc Full fd0 msdos and I am issuing "b 2" to back this system up to the floppy. There's then a green write light on the floppy ad all looks well. When the system boots I see what I think is a sign that the floppy version of etc.lrp is being read, ie: Linuxrc: Installing etc: /dev/cdrom /dev/fd0 but I don't see any signs that the uncommented modules are being loaded. The only clues I see to what is happening are a series of "SIOCGIFFLAGS: Operation not supported by device exiting" errors. These come after the message that invites contributions to dhcp code development. When the system tries to start the two interfaces in this box, it says it can't find them. The problem is not restricted to NIC modules. If I uncomment kernel helper modules that are commented out by default in the /etc/module file - such as pptp support - and save and back up the file, I note that there is no sign this module loaded, although the modules that are uncommented on the CD do load. I've tried manually loading the etc.lrp package using lrpkg -i etc and can see that etc.lrp loads but when I go back into the lrcfg menu system and then into Package Settings - Modules - Modules, I see that the lines I had uncommented are still commented. I got on fine with E2B so I suspect the problem is that I have misunderstood part of the back up process for a floppy-booted Dachstein CD. Anyone know what I am dong wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Lee ___ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
