Site News :: DSL v3.2
The only change in network area was the inclusion of a user contributed b44.o module. What module were you using in v3.1?
Hi Roberts,
I work with an recent industrial biscuit PC board with a standard Realtek RTL-8139 controller.
During boot processus with DSL3.2 hdinstall, after autocofiguring no eth0 is seen !
If i execute lspci , i see the controler.

If i execute lsmod , no trace of the module (controler).
If i execute modprobe , i get this error message :
root@box:/home/dsl# modprobe 8139too
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/net/b44.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/net/b44.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/net/b44.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/net/b44.o: insmod 8139too failed
root@box:/home/dsl#
Important , i get always this error when i make the hdinstall :
se [G]rub MBR or [L]ilo Active Partition? (g/l): l
Setting up boot loader (LILO) into the active partition..
/usr/sbin/dsl-installboot: line 181: 1021 Segmentation fault /usr/sbin/genliloconf "$TARGET" "$TARGET" "hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi apm=power-off nomce noapic" "$BKERNEL" $INITRD

Added dsl *
The boot installation process is finished.
I look at for /etc/lilo.conf , it seems to be correct.
I have replaced all the /boot directory of my DSL3.2 with the /boot of an OK DSL3.01 hdinstall, but no success after reboot,
my network card is still not seen ?
Is anybody has the same problem ?
Thanks a lot for your help !

phiphi: temporary workaround would be to copy over b44.o from dsl v3.1 or before, and overwrite the one in dsl v3.2 (or just use "insmod /path/to/b44.o" )
Thanks,
I replace as your say, b44.o module with DSL3.01 one, but no success , same error with modprobe 8139too after reboot.
Strange !!!
I've just tested DSL v3.2: What about the "must be superuser to umount" problem?
Maybe having a bug/problem tracker will help to improve DSL.
