3.5. Coyote Linux Bootup[id=clboot]
Boot your Coyote Linux, making sure the Coyote Linux floppy is in the floppy drive, and that the machine has been configured in BIOS to boot from floppy.
Generating DSS keys- this will take several minutes on a slow system.
If all goes well, you will see the Coyote Linux text-based login screen. You will recognise that all has gone well when you see the magic words
LAN network: UP WAN network: UP
In this screenshot, both network cards are defect.
FIXME, replace with a screenshot where network cards work.
- Q: It appears that the network card (LAN) that goes to the Skolelinux/Debian-edu network is not working: DOWN
- Q: It appears that the network card (WAN) that is connected to the Internet is not working: DOWN
- Q: I have tried several different driver modules for my network cards, but I still haven't found the correct driver.
A: If you have configured your network card according to A but it's still not working, then maybe you have chosen the wrong driver module for your network card
A: There are two obvious reasons why the WAN network card is not UP:
You are trying to connect using the wrong Internet connection type. Have a look again at 2.c
If you have a connection with a DHCP-assigned address, and not a static one, then there must be a physical connection with a network cable between Coyote Linux and the connection.
You have chosen the wrong driver module for this network card.
You could try to login to Coyote Linux and then first choose q) quit to get out of the Coyote Linux menu, then issue the command
dmesg|more
use SPACE to page. Look for references to eth0 and eth1. Look at the sidebar Different Names Used for the network cards[id=clnicnames] for a reminder about what eth0 and eth1 means. There is usually an indicator there as to what the problem is.
A: Have you had a look at this web page containing info about network card and corresponding driver modules for Coyote Linux? http://www.dalantech.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=unix&Number=32746&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1
