Hi everybody, Yesterday I tried to install SuSE 7.3 on a IBM RS600 B50 (model 7046, the one without video adapter), I booted from the console using the procedure and the images described at the url :
http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/ubrueck_floppyinstall.html
the boot process works perfectly (from the OF prompt I used the line boot floppy:,zimage root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 console=ttyS0,9600 fake_initrd) except for one thing :
when I try to load the network card module I get an error saying that is impossible to load the module lance32 ; my machine has 2 ADM PCNET ethernet adpter, so the driver should be the right one (I used it on SuSE ppc 7.0) , I also tried to remove one of the adapters (the one on PCI BUS) but unfortunately nothing changed. I tried also the autoprobing, but it didn't load the network module.
Hmmm, just a quick guess: Most of the known drivers are allready compiled into the kernel itself. Are you really sure that you need to load a module?
Is there something that I'm missing ? could you suggest me something ?
Some more info about the network cards might help.
thanks in advance
