Anyone have any idea what the following boot message is telling me?
"Delaying eth0 initialization"
My 3c5x9 used to come up fine (detecting the card, displaying the mac
address, etc.)
After placing a call to SVGATextMode in my rc.local script to set the text
mode for my console
my 3c5x9 card was no longer to be found. I took the call back out of my
rc.local and the card still
will not come back to life.
Card works fine when booting from floppy and running Netware VLMs so it
isn't a hardware problem.
Read the Ethernet-HOWTO and grepped for everything under /usr/doc for the
terms
"delaying initialization" "eth0" and "3c5x9" and still found nothing on
this.
So i placed boot parameters for the card ether=10,300,eth0 and ran lilo.
Still nothing.
The program 3c5x9 from the 3c5x9-utils package does detect it using these
settings.
Everything looks okay in my ifcfg-eth0 file. ifconfig won't bring it up.
Tried the X program netcfg to check the settings and activate the interface.
Still no go.
Swapped the card with a new one, checked all settings, etc., etc. and still
no go.
Recompiled kernel 2.0.34-0.6 (maybe corrupted?) and still no go.
Suggestions anyone?
