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?

Here's a bit more information from the 'messages' file:
