Re: tlug: Loading modules

[Neil Booth <NeilB@example.com>]

Hi,

I can't help you much, but can give you a clue. I get the same messages,
and I read somewhere (Alan Cox?) they are from a bug in (I think)
ifconfig. In other words, your setup is theoretically fine as it is. In
my case they occur when the /etc/rc.d/init.d/network script runs (look
for the line "./ifup ifcfg-lo"), when setting up the loopback device. I
didn't bother investigating any further, but maybe you could try moving
the network script to run a little later? Alternatively, experiment
building the kernel with more and more networking stuff in-core until it
works?

If you do solve it, please let the list know.

Cheers,

Neil.
