by Hi,
I've successfully installed RH5.2 via FTP to a 486/66.
However, I've run across an odd error. The network refuses to initialize.
I'm a bit new to linux so I'll give you what I feel are the relevant details
based on my readings of HOWTO's etc.
I get the following message while booting up:
insmod: /lib/modules/preferred/net eepro.o: init_module : Device or
resource busy.
Delaying etho initialization
Here are the settings that I have I have been looking at and changed a
couple of times but nothing seems to work.
In the Kernel Configurator:
type module arguments
etho eepro io=0x210 irq=11
eepro <blank> io=0x210 irq=11
contents of /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORK=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=no
HOSTNAME=poe.<leftout>.org
DOMAINNAME=<leftout>.org
GATEWAY=
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
In the network configurator for device eth0
IP: 10.0.0.10
Netmask: 255.0.0.0
Network: 10.0.0.0 (I'm a little unsure of exactly what this is here)
Broadcast: 10.255.255.255
<yes> Activate interface at boot time
protocol: none.
Any suggestions anyone? I did install Linux then transport the system to
another local so something might have been damaged in the transport, but the
other computer that was on top of it is fine...
I'm just stumped here.
