Those guys were all using an initramfs, so their solution will be tangential to your problem. If I'm reading correctly then it seems that the broadcom module needs to be loaded (to get the phylib) before the tg3 module is loaded. Did you enable the broadcom module ? I'm guessing it is CONFIG_BROADCOM_PHY. If building them both as modules works, no problem. If not, I suppose you will need to put something into modprobe.d [ do we still use that ? ] or build them in to the kernel. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
