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

Boot with 'manual=2'.

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.

Ciao
