Delaying initialization The machine starts up but with no connectivity and eth0 is considered inactive. The one other error msg in syslog is: Mar 24 10:11:49 minotaur insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.21-9.0.1.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_pc.o: insmod parport_lowlevel failed Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Installed RHEL WS v. 3 from downloaded CD images 2. Updated packages and ran up2date. 3. Applied kernel updates noted by up2date Actual Results: Described above Expected Results: expect no error msgs and normal network connectivity. Additional info:
- AUTOINSTALL not set in its dkms.conf Module ignored we don't ship dkms .... is this a dell preload distro by chance ?
It is not a Dell preload distro. Although I did use Dell's OpenManage software to help start the install but I used RHEL images downloaded from Red Hat's website.
We don't support modified kernels, which DKMS can interfere with.
