I am having some issues with a module I need to load for an intel e1000
interface using RedHat 7.3 linux-2.4.18-3. For some reason, the new imaged
machines that I am trying to bring up will not load that module nor
initialize the interface, so I am stuck with a single 10/100 interface.
Interestingly enough I get the following in dmesg

parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
parport0: irq 7 detected

And nothing else really, but when I go to manually probe or insert the
module I get the following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# modprobe e1000

Does anyone have any quick solutions they might suggest to get this module
to load correctly? Or any other suggestions?

Thank you in advance
