Thanks for the reply, but I got it going by the time this message came through after the mail server has been down.Freddy Freeloader wrote:I did a clean install of woody. I immediately upgraded to sarge, and then immediately upgraded my kernel to 2.6.6 from source using apt. Since then I have a really strange problem. On every reboot my eth0 card is not found. I have to modprobe, and then restart /etc/init.d/networking. After that the card works as it should. I have also placed an alias in /etc/modutils/aliases. I've also run update-modules afterwards but upon boot my eth0 card always comes up missing.Has anyone else run into this? Have any ideas?Install hotplug.I just changed the mobo from an Asus plus PCI Intel NIC, sound, hotrod66 to gigglebite SiS chipset with onboard S900, sound etc and it came up fine, once I installed hotplug.
I ended up running modconf four or five times as it kept erroring out. I was ready to modify my start scripts and decided to try modconf one last time and it worked. I didn't change any other settings it's just that modconf decided to work and install the module for my NIC. Why it suddenly decided to work after a series of failures is beyond me but it did. It's worked fine ever since.
