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....

The /etc/modules.conf should contain: alias eth0 gmac Run "depmod -a" and "rcnetwork start" Can you send me the "dmesg" output? Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...

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?

something is wrong with these lines. 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 Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
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!
