OK, Im confused.
I have an OLD 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp kernel which boots just fine,
the /etc/modprobe.conf file has the line
alias eth0 sk98lin
and ethernet comes up just fine.
I have a couple of other kernels which have been downloaded from
RPMS.updates, and they DONT bring up the eth0. Rather than trying
to figure out what was wrong with them, I just built a 2.6.15.1
kernel, and sure enough I get the same error message, viz
Bringing up interface eth0: sk98lin device eth0 does not seem to be present, ..
Whats going on here?
same modprobe.conf, and the sk98lin.ko file is there in /lib/modules/ for the
new kernel. The /proc/modules shows the sk98lin module to be loaded.
For reference, this IS a D945Gnt motherboard, which does have onboard
ethernet, but I have yet to get Linux to notice either the ethernet or
the onboard soundcard.
Any suggestions appreciated.
