This is odd, since, as you can see from the two files, no
change was made to the ethernet config. Diagnostic
could be helpful here. Can you start it by hand? If not,
do you see any message?

Who's 'they'? Disable kudzu if you have it enabled:

chkconfig kudzu off

First of all :
What do you mean "start it by hand" ? During the interactive startup, if I say yes for eth0, I won't work.
That's all I know. I don't see any message, because after a moment of unactivity, I reboot it. maybe I should not, but I don't know if it is gonna do something sometime.

Second of all :

"they" is the one I don't know but I'm sure I don't like, because it keeps my sound driver from working.
I don't know kudzu, and I don't know if it's enabled, but I'ma try to disable it.

Don't you think I should edit another file, like the file named " modules" ?


Thanks anyway for responding

see you

Long life to Linux !

When I type in a console "chkconfig kudzu off", it replies "erreur de la lecture d'informations sur le service kudzu : no such file or directory". If you don't speak french it means : "Error when reading information about servic kudzu : no such ..."

What's your diagnostc ?

see you

Hey, I let it run more, and it started. It "tried to contact" many IP's (I think), but then it started normally. I still can't connect to Internet (my lan) and it has still added the two lines in modules.conf. I think that's the only thing preventing the sound from working because at startup it has started alsa up.


Thnks

vic_cw

exactly, at startup, under "bringing up interface eth0", it writes

zcip [786 (I think the number changes) ] probing< x> for <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
And it does it many times with different ip's, until it writes
"claiming ownership of address <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> and then "stored address <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> for eth0 : 9". But it's weird, because it stores an address starting by 169.etc... and the normal address is 192.168.1.10

(Don't forget that I connect to my lan using a wireless network adapter from linksys)

Second of all :
At interactive startup (to read better), when i say to start alsa, it writes "starting alsa version 0.9.0rc8 : via82xx.
Doing alsactl to restore mixer settings..." I don't understand everything, but I imagine this explains some stuff.
Plus, when I start service sound, it doesn't write anything (but I guess that's normal) and asks for the next service to start)

I hope you'll know what all this stuff means and how we can fix it


See you

vic_cw

Do you think I should uninstall alsa 0.9.0 ?
How ?
Can I do it simply sith rpmdrake, the rpm manager? Will it be enough ?

lhalifax

I suppose you're running a RedHat 8.0. I see no reason
to force an interactive startup. Boot the machine and
then simply wait for rc.* to do their job.

'By hand' means: what happens if you type
'service network restart' at a shell prompt (as
root obviously).

Wait longer. As I read in another post, you're negotiating
your IP address. This can take several seconds.

Again. I suppose you're running a RedHat machine. If
so, kudzu is enabled by default.

Full path?

P.S. Delete previuos messages, so that we don't add
too much noise

lhalifax

Which release are you running?

Post a chkconfig --list (and delete it after my
reply, again, we try and limit the noise

lhalifax

They work perfectly here.

How did you install them? RPM? From source?

PS : Try to answer me PLEASE !!!

Hi ! (if somebody didn't leave for holidays)

Now my problem is different :
I reedited my modules .conf file like before, and then I changed it back, and now eth0 has no problem, but "something" always changes the file at startup (I think) :
The second linux of the OSS/Free section :
"alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0" becomes :
"alias sound-slot-0 snd-0"

Plus, now "something" adds one line at the bottom :
"above snd-via82xx snd-pcm-oss".

Now my problem is easier : I don't have to fix anything about eth0, and I'm back on my LAN and Internet. I only have to know what is changing the modules.conf file. To do this, at interactive startup, I tried not to start ALSA service and sound service, but the file was still modified. So it's something before launching the modules.
Does anybody know what ?


Thanks

No problem in giving you my e-mail addr.
I simply was on my honeymoon, so please forgive
me if I didn't check these pages.

Dear vic,

1. The page is no more on line.

2. Again, sorry if I didn't post a message asking for permission
before leaving.
