The system is dual-boot with WinXP, and had data on the home partition I didn't want to lose, so I downloaded the isos to the home partition and tried installing from the HD. This install failed.
I backed up, removed FC2, installed a plain RH9 system, then upgraded that system from the HD FC2 isos.
Installation went perfectly, except....... the netcard on the system will not activate.
Symptoms:
The system detects the DEC21040 card perfectly.
lspci -v reports the card correctly, installed on IRQ11 with no conflicts.
however, modprobe fails :-(
dmesg reports that modprobe fails becasue either there is a problem with the compilation of the tulip drivers, or there are incorrect parameters being used somewhere.
The reported path to the driver is correct. To the best of my knowlegde all the required driver files are present.
Anyone have any ideas please?
I'm new to working with hardware drivers, so be gentle with me please <g>
