[opensuse-factory] network detection in linuxrc
Hello, How does linuxrc detect the network card? As I ran into the problem, that there is a working Ethernet connection (even the kernel is downloaded by tftp), but linuxrc says: " *** No network device found. Load a network module first. " It is a custom built kernel for a not yet supported PPC board, and Ethernet works fine: [ 91.910110] eth0: fs_enet: 00:1e:59:7a:da:d1 [ 91.915144] FEC MII Bus: probed For example I can nfs mount a / partition (tested with 10.3 rescue system exported on NFS). Using a compiled in Ethernet driver worked fine for another board ( http://en.opensuse.org/MPC8610 ).

You need to run mkinitrd after adding the kernel module of the network card in /etc/sysconfig/kernel INITRD_MODULES="add your module here" Or select the network card driver when doing make xconfig.
