Description Andrei Slavoiu 2006-07-22 02:12:41 UTC
Right after the boot proccess finishes and I get the prompt, the following kernel message appears on screen: eth0: network connection down.
This is what I found in /var/log/messages:

Note that when I manualy started eth0 (/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start) it initialized correctly:
livecd root # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
 * Starting eth0
 *   Configuration not set for eth0 - assuming DHCP
 *   Bringing up eth0
 *     dhcp
 *       Running dhcpcd ...

Chris: Hm, we're using sk98lin in kconfig. I'd suggest to switch to
  CONFIG_SK98LIN=n   # > it's deprecated by kernel devs
  CONFIG_SKGE=m      # \ these two should be able to handle
  CONFIG_SKY2=m      # / all ethernet cards that are handled by sk98lin

Any objections?
