I can bring up and down both interfaces after a cold boot and everything works great. But if I do a warm boot, the problem comes back to life - RH9 / Fedora Core 1 will not see network ports. I have downloaded the latest Intel drivers for this card, Pro/100 82559, and when I 'make install' it goes okay but the last line says: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2149.nptlsmp/kernel/drivers/net/e100.o Is this a cause for concern? (I am not physically in front of the server as I write this so I didn't want to remotely reboot the sucker in case it doesn't come back up and I have to drive to the datacenter again). I did some digging on the error message above and in somewhat similar cases (problems with getting network ports to work properly), I can also add that my /etc/modules.conf has: alias eth0 e100 alias eth1 e100 which appears to be correct. The only other thing someone else had posted on a vaguely related subject was that in his case some of the bootup scripts were trying to access network ports ahead of 'ifconfig eth0 up' which was running much later on in the bootup process. Could this be a similar problem? Where can I look for the order this gets loaded in and where can I change it so that 'ifconfig eth0 up' runs later in the process? (if that is a problem, that is) Thanks, Chris -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
