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!

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....

The /etc/modules.conf should contain:
alias eth0 gmac
Run "depmod -a" and "rcnetwork start"
Can you send me the "dmesg" output?

I changed the line in /etc/modules.conf
from:
alias eth0 off
to:
alias eth0 gmac
then ran "depmod -a"
after running "rcnetwork start" I received the same error messages as earlier:
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
The /var/log/messages file contains many "modprobe: modprob: Invalid line 200"
...223 etc
Running dmesg generates a lot of output, but I have no way of getting it from the notebook
to this system to email to you, as the NIC is the problem, and I do not have an external
floppy drive. Would you like to know anything in particular?

Try "insmod gmac" and "dmesg |tail", it should tell you something
about
PHY and such.

You can use hfsutils to copy files to a HFS partition
dmesg > myfile
hmount /dev/hda9
hcopy -t myfile :
humount

I finally found some time to play with the new ibook...
Dual booting on my ibook is working just fine now, but I'm having problems with a
heck of a lot of modules not being found after changing "alias eth0 off" to
"alias eth0 gmac" in the /etc/modules.conf file.
I can bring up the NIC manually from the command line interface by issuing the following
commands:
1) insmod gmac
2) rcnetwork start
3) route add default gw 128.121.35.1
OR
1) insmod gmac
2) ifconfig eth0 128.121.35.6 netmask 255.255.255.248 broadcast 128.121.35.7
3) route add default gw 128.121.35.1
OR
1) insmod gmac
2) use the graphical yast to set up networking, which adds the default gatway.
The root of this issue appears to also affect my modem & sound not working. So, if you
can point out what the issue might be for the NIC, it may also solve my other modules not
being found.
Thanks!
