I=B4ve found out the module problem ! It was edit of freedos that was appending a ^M at the end of pkgfile ! Now my only problem is the network.... booting from the floppy I can see = my ethernet doing a "dmesg | grep eth" but booting from my ide I can=B4t find it !! It doesn=B4t find it !! I=B4= m using a RTL8139 (RealTek). I know the base_add and the IRQ. I=B4ve tryed using ether=3D5,0xdc00,eth0 at the loadlin command = but with no success. I can see my ethernet device at procs/pci but..... doesn=B4t work. Is there any special configuration to make it work while booting from IDE= ?
