It's not on the HD. I going to have to invest quite a bit of time learning how to navigate this system before I trouble you further with the dual booting issue, although I'd really like to get the network adapter working. I'm using Yast2, and selecting the Network card configuration icon from the Network section brings up a "Network base configuration" screen that has 2 radio buttons: one for "interface" and another for "Hardware". Just underneath the radio buttons is a line that contains my ethernet information, including the static ip address I entered earlier. After clicking on finish, I receive a box that states the network configuration was successfully saved. Even after rebooting the system, ifconfig only lists the loopback device, and not eth0 as being up and running. Additionally, neither my sound, nor modem work. The boot log contains the following errors: ******************************************* Setting up network device eth0 SIOCSIFADDR: No such Device eth0: unknown interface: No such device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device eth0: unknown interface: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device done Setting up routing (using /etc/route.conf) Error while executing: /sbin/route add default gw 128.121.35.1 dev eth0 SIOCADDRT: No such device Setting up routing failed ****************************************** I'd appreciate any help in getting the NIC up and running! Thanks again! Joss Winn wrote:
no problem. what does the file /etc/yaboot.conf look like? That should point to the kernel and boot up automatically.
If you send me a copy of the file, I might be able to help
we'll see....
