eth0 output on init
 

durring initialization after gettin eth0 up and running, it tried to probe for it again using 8139cp.o.gz, 8139too is what it should be using. it get this message about 10 times then it continues:

insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/net/8139cp.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/net/8139cp.o.gz failed
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/net/8139cp.o.gz: insmod 8139cp failed
8139cp Fast Ethernet Driver 0.9.26

how can i fix this?

i'm guess that this is listed in your modules.conf file (i think that's also what slackware uses) but yeah you want 8139too normally. just comment it out of modules.conf. if it's not in there, maybe it uses rc.modules (that sounds faimilar too!)

already went through that....... didnt seem to make a difference.

How, and why, are you "trying to probe for it"?

To locate where that comes from you might
want to try a
If you get too much output use grep -r -l
and then go through the files listed with your
editor of choice :) ... or just pipe it into less ;)
