Hi all:
I enjoyed my first go at installing woody on laptop with no cdrom drive yesterday :-) The floor was littered with hurled floppies by the time I went to bed.
I ground to a halt at installing the base system, however. I installed the kernel modules ok, then configured the pcmcia.conf file on console 2 to use my network card and the pcnet_cs driver. This resulted in the two high beeps and lsmod showing pcnet_cs ok. I then configured the network to use eth0 and gave it the appropriate addresses etc. So then I tried to use the network to install the base system, but I can't get eth0 interface up.
All the right info is there that I think it should have, but no eth0.
Bah.
Incidentally, I loaded into ramdisk0 and root fs is currently mounted on /[some-dir-I've-forgotten-the-name-of].
Can anyone think of anything I should be looking for? Interfaces file is in /etc/pcmcia/network. loopback is working.
Ta, Jen
