Description of Problem: I am trying to create a firewall using RH 7.3 and an old Pentium 90 but the ethernet modules don't load even though the cards were detected properly during install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat 7.3 How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Red Hat 7.3 2. Re-boot 3. modprobe ne2k-pci 4. modprobe via-rhine Actual Results: Upon booting, I get: ne2k-pci device does not seem to be present, delaying eth0 initialization and: via-rhine device does not seem to be present, delaying eth1 initialization The ethernet lines in /etc/modules.conf as created by the install are: alias eth0 ne2k-pci alias eth1 via-rhine The results of "modprobe ne2k-pci" are: /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/net/ne2k-pci.o: init_module: No such device /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/net/ne2k-pci.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/net/ne2k-pci.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/net/ne2k-pci.o: insmod ne2k-pci failed Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters The results of "modprobe via-rhine" are: /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/net/via-rhine.o: init_module: No such device /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/net/via-rhine.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/net/via-rhine.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/net/via-rhine.o: insmod via-rhine failed Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters Expected Results: The modules should be automatically loaded at boot-up and should be able to be loaded manually.
Hm, sounds like a kernel issue.
Can you please provide "lspci" output? Also, attempting to reproduce in 8.0 would be helpful.
I am sorry but I have changed that machine to OpenBSD. Since it is working in this configuration, I don't want to muck with it. You might want to resolve this WONTFIX.
ok, done :) Thanks for responding so quickly.
