Im installing Linux and have had to use a 2.0.29 boot disk to enable the
machine to get onto the network for an NFS install.
I have since repiled the kernel with both 3com and ether3 support and run the netconfig command.
Upon re-booting, I get the following messages
ewrk3_probe0: detected device already registered at 0x2e0 ewrk3_probe0: detected device already registered at 0x3c0
Then when running rc.inet1 at boot time;
SIOCSIFFADDR: No such device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device SIOCSADDRT: Network unreachable SIOCSADDRT: Network unreachable
I have copied the kernel and startup files (from /etc/rc.d) from a machine that is on the network and works fine into the correct places on this machine.
After changing the machines IP address so it's no longer the old machines I reboot and get the same problem.
I am using kernel 1.2.13 (which has not caused any problems on any of our other 30+ linux machines). The network connection does work and has been tested with both a windows nt machine and with this machine after using the 2.0.29 boot disk and mount root=/dev/hda2 ro command at the lilo prompt.
Im totally stuck
Can someone please help ????
Si
