so today on -c sipb, alex was trying to help a user who had a
3c905[bc] card. unfortunalty the installer does not have the 3c90x.o
module, and only has 3c59x.o. consensus was that that would never
work. So, I poked around, and added 3c90x.o to the
network/modules/modules.cgz file. Saddly I was then unable to make a
boot disk.
my instructions from warlord were to "mkinitrd and then mkboot" I
notice that mkboot runs mkinitrd, so I opted not to worry about that
step. It does produce an image, but I can't mount or boot it.
So, if someone wants to try to create this boot disk, all my changes
are in /mit/linux/devel/redhat/6.2/trees-3c905. In theory ./mkboot
network should have created a working bootnet.img in images. saddly I
don't have time to debug it this evening. The make file might also be
helpful.
anyhow, have fun. sorry for the scatterbrained'ness of this email.
