Hi All,

I've been away from this list for a while, and I've asked the question
before.  (So, it may have been answered.)

Today I did a "yum update" and got kernel-2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 (updated
        
>from  kernel-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4).
      
Rebooted, and I lost my network connection.

During the boot to '1637' and from the network admin screen, it claims
to not be able to find my eth0 device (3Com 3c905).

But when I boot using '1456', it finds eth0 just fine.

I'm running on an HP Pavilion 8150.

Thanks!

Jon
        
I've got the same problem, with a message saying that the setup of eth0 is
delayed because of a lack of a module (?) forcedeth that should work with
NVidia chipsets.
But I can't understand the steps to include this module I've found here
and there.
      
I just checked my message file (to see if I missed something) and found:
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting 3c59x
(/lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1637_FC4/kernel/drivers        /net/3c59x.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

What the heck does that mean?
    
It means that a 3c59 is not the same thing as a 3c509.  Apparently something 
in kernel '1637' has an error.  Just use '1456' and file a bug report and 
hopefully it will get fixed.  

3c509!  That was when parts were made to last, obviously.  Still have several 
of those in a storage box somewhere and use them on occasion.

HTH,
Tom

Where and how do I report this as a bug?  (And how do I know if it's already been reported?)
