help trying to load driver for e1000.o module



Hello,

 

New linux user, trying to build an intel server.

 

I’m using the 2.2.20-compact cd image.

 

I’m having trouble getting the install program to load the module for the Intel® 82546EB controller.  I’ve found a few other people that had trouble loading the driver for this nic, but their solutions (and module disks) don’t seem to be working for me.

 

Dbootstrap gives me unresolved symbol errors when I try to load the module. The install program says the loading has failed.

 

It does attempt to read the disk and does give me a choice of what modules to load, choosing e1000.o for the nic, I’ve tried a few different arguments to pass but I’m in the dark as to what is needed here.  The other pages  I found searching don’t give me any clues.

 

I’ve tried to auto-assign the irq by saying irq=0, tried variations with modprobe and insmod but with no luck.

 

Any pointers as to what I should be looking for or what am I missing on what parameters to pass? 

 

Thanks,

John
