After spending a day trying to get my ADSL connection working on Woody
to no avail, I figured I'd download the Sarge CD's, and give a try. In
the process of HW detection, early in the installation, I got:
The rtl8139 module required for Realtek RTL-8139 is missing from
this installation disk. If you want to load it from a driver floppy,
then insert this floppy disk before proceeding
A driver floppy is a ext2 floppy with one file, modules.tgz. The
content of modules.tgz is unpackaged in the installation root
directory.
My network adapter is indeed this one, so I went to the Realtek site,
downloaded the driver for the 2.4 kernel, formatted a floppy as ext2,
packed the driver into a file named modules.tgz, copied to the floppy
and gave it a try. The error message is:
mount: mounting /dev/floppy/0 on /mnt failed: no such file or directory
Any suggestions?
