How did you setup your ethernet card? Have you edited /etc/pcmcia/network.opts or /etc/network/interfaces? Can you ping your own IP? The yenta_socket should get loaded before the other modules. Try to find out about that error message. When you boot to the console login, you can scroll upwards with Shift+PageUp. Or try /var/log/kern.log Try to attach the part about the pcmcia modules to your mext email. Marc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
