I recently upgraded from woody to sarge per the
instructions (aptitude etc), which was successful.
However, after then upgrading the kernel from
2.2.20-idepci to 2.6.8-2-386, I found I could boot OK,
but I'd lost eth0 and the ATI framebuffer.
lspci can see both devices, but I'm at a loss as to
how to make the kernel see them again.
modprobe eth1349 seems to work OK. modprobe eth16i
fails, no hardware found. The card is a 3c905.
This must be a common question, but after a fair
amount of googling I haven't been able to spot an answer.

Did you use a stock kernel or did you build your own? If you built your
own, let's be having your .config file. If you used the stock kernel, it
probably ought to be working but anyway pls post your lsmod and dmesg
output. What I'm looking for is evidence of what net drivers it tried to
load. If it can't find your network card now either the right driver is
missing or else a dependency has crept in (classic example -- Intel
EtherExpress cards using the original driver now need an extra source
module called pci-scan which isn't in the kernel source tree...)
As someone else pointed out in this thread, a possibility is that the
module name has changed. If the driver was being loaded as a module
before and you had it set up in /etc/modules to load on startup, and now
the module isn't there because its name has changed, the kernel could be
failing to load the module. What we need to do in that case is find out
what the module is called now and check it's in /etc/modules -- then a
reboot might fix the problem.
