Hmm. I looked into this further and it looks like somehow the yum update *removed* the old initscripts, which would explain the behaviour... see the excerpt from my /var/log/yum.log: Mar 15 09:01:49 Erased: initscripts Mar 15 09:01:53 Updated: valgrind.i386 1:3.1.0-2 Mar 15 09:02:23 Installed: kernel-devel.i686 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 Mar 15 09:02:24 Updated: grub.i386 0.97-5 Mar 15 09:02:26 Updated: initscripts.i386 8.31.1-1 I have no idea why it would do this. > > Also, I'm using a Thinkpad T42 (2378RAU) and the wireless card shows up > > as a weird device after boot: > > > > dev8569 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:35:FC:39:23 > > > > Does anyone know why? > > You have a wired ethernet that is configured to be eth0, and your wireless > module was loaded first, so it was moved out of the way. Okay - is that expected behaviour? (I'm currently running without wireless configured, but I'm not suppressing the load of the kernel module or anything like that) - Julian -- Julian C. Dunn, P.Eng.
