The boot process should "insmod tulip" at the point that it is trying to initialize all configured network devices. libDrakX, I'm not sure about. It appears to be part of the "drakxtools-newt" package, which is a graphical tool provided by mandrake that is supposed to make configuring your system easier. > > Any help would be appricated.. I'd assume that you used the drakxtools to configure your system, either during the install or later using something like "setuptool" or "draknet", and it installed a script that is supposed to be run whenever you activate that network device. It looks to me like that script is failing - but I'm just guessing, I've never played around with mandrake's startup. > > I installed samba.. 1) Are all of the dependacies of the "drakxtools" package satisfied? Type "rpm -q --requires drakxtools" to see these dependancies. For each package listed, type "rpm -q package_name" 2) Can you get the network interface to work anyway? As root, type "ifconfig". This will list the currently configured(in use) network interfaces. Assuming that you only have one network card in your laptop, you hope to see "eth0" listed. If so, you should be able to ping other machines, surf the web, get email and pretty much not worry about this error. If you don't see it listed, try "ifup eth0". This will try to configure that device, hopefully you wont get that same error. Does anyone with more mandrake experience have better ideas? ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements-http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug
