Newbie, Installing Suse Linux, Need help with module parameters.

Post by pottymout » Tue, 15 Apr 2003 06:52:34



I have been trying to get the network modules up I have a  Pcmcia RTL8139
Family PIC Fast Ethernet NIC, and the following entries RT8139, and 8139 and
8139 +c  I not sure which one it is, and I can figure out what the parameter
input box is for. But it seems to need it.

More info, The cd is a iso copy for network install,
The module for Pcmcia is loaded, ethernet card powers up when it loads.

1. Newbie needs help to install SuSE Linux 7.1 on SCSI hard drive.

I am a total newbie when it comes to Linux.  Any help will most
gratefully appreciated.

I am trying to install SUSE Linux 7.1 on to a SCSI hard drive
controlled by an AdvanSys ABP5140 adapter.  Unfortunately, the
installation program YaST2 doesn't recognise the SCSI hard drive
although it sees the IDE ones.

When I try to install the AdvanSys module, it asks for the parameter
and gives an example of a parameter as "afc_iopf lag=1
afc_ioport=0x110".  I don't understand what this means.
