Hello
I've update my kernel to get it to function with new hardware and the modules for my eepro100 and USB mouse aren't working now. Where is the scripts that initiate these things so that I fix this. It doesn't seem to be in the /etc/rc.d/ directory, or at least I can't seem to find it with Grep.

What version of the kernel?
I believe the problem that you are having is probably the difference in the way devices are detected and initialized (ie. udev). I had similar problems after going past a certain kernel version (maybe 2.6.18) on 9.3. I was able to work around this problem by adding the device drivers for the devices to the MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT="capability raw1394 video1394 sis900" in /etc/sysconfig/kernel.
I added eepro100 which is a working module into the initrd line of the kernel file, but the system still isn't initializing the ethernet card prior to me running modprobe on the command line. I looked into the config files under network and still find no place where it does a probe for the card and loads modules. Any further thoughts? Ruben
Hope this helps. -- kr
