Thanks for the reply, but I got it going by the time this message came through after the mail server has been down.Freddy Freeloader wrote:
I did a clean install of woody. I immediately upgraded to sarge, and then immediately upgraded my kernel to 2.6.6 from source using apt. Since then I have a really strange problem. On every reboot my eth0 card is not found. I have to modprobe, and then restart /etc/init.d/networking. After that the card works as it should. I have also placed an alias in /etc/modutils/aliases. I've also run update-modules afterwards but upon boot my eth0 card always comes up missing.
Has anyone else run into this? Have any ideas?
Install hotplug.
I just changed the mobo from an Asus plus PCI Intel NIC, sound, hotrod66 to gigglebite SiS chipset with onboard S900, sound etc and it came up fine, once I installed hotplug.
I ended up running modconf four or five times as it kept erroring out. I was ready to modify my start scripts and decided to try modconf one last time and it worked. I didn't change any other settings it's just that modconf decided to work and install the module for my NIC. Why it suddenly decided to work after a series of failures is beyond me but it did. It's worked fine ever since.
