I was looking at a problem with system-config-kickstart and decided I should update my system first. I updated it on Jan 10th, so it wasn't too long ago. Anyway after the updates when the network would start it would say that my 3c59x wasn't ready. This is what it looks like in /var/log/messages: Jan 12 21:23:34 p450 kernel: 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html Jan 12 21:23:34 p450 kernel: 0000:02:0b.0: 3Com PCI 3c590 Vortex 10Mbps at 0001b800. I swapped the network card for a newer 3x59x and it works now. This is what it looks like in /var/log/messages: Jan 12 22:30:06 p450 kernel: 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html Jan 12 22:30:06 p450 kernel: 0000:02:0b.0: 3Com PCI 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at d0854000. This is /var/log/yum.log so one or more of these packages broke it.
