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 ).
Bye,
CzP
