Silent booting

[Dean Brown]

I'm currently using 0.53-10 of pwl, and the 2.2.14 kernel. When I
changed to the 2.2.17 kernel however, I started having problems with the
rtl8139 network driver. 

I'm getting an error when the rc.modules script is executed which simply
does an insmod on the rtl8139.o module. The errors I am getting are:
/lib/modules/2.2.17/net/rtl8139.o: unresolved symbol pci_drv_unregister
/lib/modules/2.2.17/net/rtl8139.o: unresolved symbol pci_drv_register

This was using the precompiled binaries, so I downloaded the source
files and recompiled the kernel RPM. I'm still getting the same error.

Assuming I can get this issue solved, do you have any instructions on
the 'silent.patch'?

Thanks in advance!
