Subject: [Peeweelinux] Driver modules not loading...
I'm a PeeWee newbie. Using the 0.61.1 version of PeeWeeLinux, I can produce
a bootable CF card.
The problem I'm having is with driver modules not loading. For instance, I
have the eepro100 module included in the kernel but, to bring up networking,
I have to manually load the module on my target machine and run ifconfig as
follows:
insmod //lib/modules/2.2.17/net/eepro100.o
ifconfig eth0 <ip-addr>
Similarly, if I want to mount a DOS floppy, I have to manually enter:
insmod //lib/modules/2.2.17/fs/fat.o
insmod //lib/modules/2.2.17/fs/msdos.o
What am I missing? These modules are supposed to already be in the kernel.
Why am i having to load them manually?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
