I installed YDL 3.0 on my 8500/120, the install failed when requesting CD 2
(I am guessing that=B9s what happened since all of CD 1 stuff I requested  wa=
s
installed). I installed most of the rpms I wanted/needed and got X working.
But I am having a hard time getting the machine an IP.

I tried configuring using redhat-config-network (assigning IP through DHCP)=
.

Etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 contents:
DEVICE=3Deth0
ONBOOT=3Dyes
BOOTPROTO=3Ddhcp

Etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 reads:
DEVICE=3Deth0
ONBOOT=3Dyes
BOOTPROTO=3Ddhcp
USERCTL=3Dno
PEERDNS=3Dno
TYPE=3DEthernet

Etc/modules.conf has these entries:
Alias char-major-4 off
Alias eth0 3c59x.o (I put that there)

/lib/modules/2.4.20-8DBOOT/kernel/drivers/net has 3c59x.o (I presume the
default ethernet driver for the 8500)
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8DBOOT/modules.dep has the above entry:
/lib/modules/kernel/drivers/net/3c59x.o

Ifconfig =ADa :
\eth0   link encap:Ethernet Hwaddr 00:05:02:D0:61:2D
        UP Broadcast running multicast mtu:1500 Metric:1
        RX packets: 706 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier: 0
        collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
        Interrupt: 14 Base address:0x1000

lo      link encap:Local loopback
        inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
        UP LOOPBACK RUNNING mtu:16436 Metric:1
        RX packets: 186 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier: 0
        TX packets: 186 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier: 0
        collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
        RX bytes:19130 (18.6 Kb) TX Bytes:19130 (18.6 Kb)

Ifup eth0 does the following:

Determining IP information for eth0 ... Failed.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
