Hi,
After recompiling the kernel to use only built in devices and not
modules, I 've lost my second network card.
Through the documentation I read that I can append the following line
'ether=0,0,eth1 or ether=11,0x300, eth1' and that my card should be
probed at boot time, this doesn't append.
When I start my machine I use
# LILO boot: new_linux ether = 11, 0x300, eth1
or
# LILO boot: new_linux ether = 0, 0, eth1
or
# LILO boot: new_linux
and get always the same error:
'Delaying eth1 initialisation'
This seams to indicate that the line is not appended to the boot
process.
I've then tried to edit my 'lilo.conf' as follow:
append = "ether=11,0x300,eth1" (or ether=0,0,eth1)
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
linear
timeout=100
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=new_linux
root=/dev/sda1
read-only
image = my old configuartion with
modules which is working fine.
I then run lilo at command line and restart.
The error is now:
SIOCSIFFLAGS=Operation not supported by device.
Any idea how to solve or identify the problem ?
By the way I use an ISA 3Com EhterLink III 10BaseT (RJ-45) 3C509B-TPO.
In the non modular kernel I've PCI & ISA support with the 3c509 drive
selected.
My first card is a SMC EtherPower II 10/100 which is working fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
