I just installed kernel 2.4.2 on a slackware system and have a problem
with loading a module. It is the 8139too.o module previously the
rtl8139.o. It seems that this new driver is not being loaded with
this new kernel. Obviously something has changed but I can't seem to see
where that is. I noticed though that the directories in /lib/modules for
this kernel is different than 2.2.18.
Anyways - to get things to work, I have put added this statement to the
top of my /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 file:
insmod /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/8139too.o.
That seems to get things working but why should I do that.
By the way - I do have 'alias eth0 8139too.o' in my /etc/modules.conf
file.
Any thoughts on where I might be going wrong. And I do have
'CONFIG_KMOD=y' in my kernel configuration..
