Are you sure, this is module-init-tools?? Can you downgrade it with the original FC4 module-init-tools?
Well, everything worked before i did the yum update and rebooted and afterwards I was broken on all kernels. granted, the skb errors look like kernel, but I'm dead in the water with older kernels too, and the delta from eth1 to wifi0 looks module-initie to me. But, yeah, I'm guessing. I can try to roll back to an earlier module init tools, but it will take me a while to get at that particular laptop.
I had a similar problem. After update with yum, my wireless card quit working and after I rolled back to the previous version of module-init-tools and everything is back to normal. I can do a specific yum update module-init-tools and it will fail and the rollback and everything works fine. Whatever happens to cause my wireless card to fail is related to installing this update. Linux 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 #1 Tue Feb 7 13:37:42 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux RPM that works: Md5 c2c2e3169e0b710b2329594daea6ca2b module-init-tools-3.1-3.i386.rpm Wireless card: Lucent/Orinoco Gold I do not have the output from dmesg any longer. I realize that my submission doesn't have a great deal of substance, but figured it was worth mentioning since I run updates with exclusion of this package. When I get around to it in the next day or so, I can capture the dmesg output after performing the update again. Its really easy for me to reproduce this problem with my card. Is there anything else you want me to look or capture when reapplying the update for the dmesg info? Thanks, Greg

My ipw2200 wireless driver stopped working with the 3.2.2 update of module-init-tools (or atleast not working as expected). The eth1 device is no longer found. Downgrading to module-init-tools-3.2-0.pre9.0.FC4.4 solved the problem for me. Also, when "Initializing hardware .." is running during boot, the "storage" phase takes much longer than normal with 3.2.2. I'm using a vanilla 2.6.16.16 kernel with ipw2200 v1.1.2 compiled as module from ipw2200.sf.net.
I tried the new rpm as suggested in comment 4 and had similar results, so I had to back out that rpm with the previous one.

This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
Fedora Core 4 is no longer maintained. Setting status to "INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you can reproduce this bug in the current Fedora release, please reopen this bug and assign it to the corresponding Fedora version.
Just a hint: If y'all actually worked the damn bugs when they were reported instead of letting them rot, then you might actually be able to catch and fix the bug.
