Cubix · 07-23-2003, 01:24 PM

lo

my networks working perfectly, but only thing is , at the boot process it moans about the 8139too module beining loaded.... i let the slackware installtion prog take care of detecting what card i have and what should be used as drivers.....

what file are the network modules configed in , or if any one has some advice to give plz share

thanks in advance..

do an "lsmod" to see what modules are loaded, chances are you have the 8139 module installed twice... use "rmmod" to remove

what's the actual message (or messages) that it gives on load?

soz.. could get the exact msg from the start up ..dont wanna d/c right now... but it mumbles about trying to insmod the 8139too module and saying irq could be wrnog or something... here is the output from *dmesg*

So it looks like lilo.conf may have an entry to put 8139 into your system on boot. Post the output of /etc/lilo.conf

Cubix · 07-23-2003, 02:28 PM

doesnt look like it , but here it is anyway...

Code:

# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda2
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 1200
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
  reset
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
vga = 773
# Normal VGA console
# vga = normal
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
# vga=791
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k
# vga=790

Shoot. That's one small lilio.conf.

Well it seems that something is trying to load that module on boot. Why not try this command to figure out what is trying to load it?

find /etc -type f -exec grep -il 8139 {} \; > /tmp/tmpfile &

And post the results. Chances are it's something in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

ermm..

that comand u give me correct .... it just bitches about missing arg to the exec....

ArizonaEd · 07-23-2003, 03:10 PM

ok... I think the spacing is off... I'll retype it with "_" symbolizing a space

find_/etc_-type_f_-exec_grep_-il_8139_{}_\;_>/tmp/file_&

Get it?
