What is in your /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf? My Fedora 14 /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf file contains the following: rsewill@rsewill:~ <3:1> $ more /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf alias eth0 via-rhine alias eth1 via-rhine alias eth2 forcedeth alias scsi_hostadapter libata alias scsi_hostadapter1 sata_nv alias scsi_hostadapter2 pata_amd alias scsi_hostadapter3 usb-storage options snd cards_limit=8 alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel index=0 alias snd-card-7 snd-usb-audio options snd-usb-audio index=7 On Fedora 14 this was how I associated which ethernet driver for which device. I assume it's still the same way on Fedora 15. Another person is having sound problems, and I remember there is sound stuff in /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf too. I am wondering if Fedora 15 did things to the modprobe files -or- if the format of the modprobe files has changed -or- if the modprobe files have been replaced by something else. I will try to upgrade to Fedora 15, in time. At this moment, I am hesitant. I have an old system, with limited RAM. I need to have good file backups. I am concerned my attempt to upgrade to Fedora 15 may fail. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
