Hi,

as it has been recommended by some guys here I now use the eepro100 module
instead of the epro module for the network adapter Intel Pro 100 installed
in my Thinkpad T30.

I added eepro100 to the file /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel2.4 and my eth0
works now.

But it seems that gentoo still tries to load the e100, too.
During but I still get this isnmod: ...somePath../e100.o invalid IO or
whatever message advicing me to look into syslog or dmesg.

How can I get rid of this message ?
It is really annoying !

I tried to unmerge (-C) e100, I tried an etc-update, but nothing helps.
I am new to gentoo and totally lost.
What steps do you think I have to execute ?
Can you please describe it in detail what to do probably ?

Thanks.

Regards

Edit your /etc/modules.autoload file. That's my only guess.

Hi,
I had the same problems with some modules I really did not need. I found the
tip to edit /etc/hotplug/blacklist and it works for me. Just add "e100" in
blacklist as you would add it to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel2.4.
When you have to make your kernel again for some reason, you can compare
blacklist to your kernelconfig to commend these modules out you do not
need, both in blacklist and during kernelconfig.
(For some reason the kernel still wants to load a sound module, I do not
need and that is not compiled as a module or into the kernel anymore, so it
is still in my blacklist)

HTH,
Gabi

Here is a very crude but very useful trick to try.

Let's say you know enough to look somewhere in /etc for the cause
of the problem, but you don't have a clue which files to examine.

Then you can use a 'shotgun' method like this (as root):

cd /etc
grep -r e100 *

(If you don't know what grep does then do 'man grep' and read the
Description section first.) This will examine every file in /etc
for the character string 'e100'. That string probably appears
somewhere in the part of /etc that deals with modules and maybe
even in more than one file, so it's nice to find them all.

I'm assuming you know what to do if you find the string 'e100'
somewhere in /etc, right? ;-)
