I have an Asus EeePC 4G. I thought I would see if it would network boot and become a stand-alone MD.
The network boot starts, fut hangs after about 22 seconds!
[ 22.588975] NET: Registered protocol family 17
ipconfig: no devices to configure
/init: .: 1: Can't open /tmp/net-eth0.conf
[ 22.594130] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

is the NIC driver just not loading? I know there is a patch for madwifi that enables it.. Does this mean I have to recompile madwifi in the core to get it to work?

What I did to enable a none working NIC was, to modify /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules and add the required module. Have a look at the wiki entrance. http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/ASUS_P5K (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/ASUS_P5K). I still have to update the steps for the second boot, where it starts another initrd.img.

I also have a possible solution here: http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=2291.msg11276;topicseen#msg11276 (http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=2291.msg11276;topicseen#msg11276)

Hi,
I am currently having a very similar problem and am very much a newbie to Linux as well as linux mce!
I am trying to network book a MD and it has the error above. On the admin site it hasn't got as far as creating a template for the MD I am trying to set up.
Do i need to manually create a MD template for this mac address and then somehow edit it to include the network card? I think i might be able to create the MD template but have no idea about how to edit it to add to the /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules. Also where can i find out what details i will need to add here? I am using the motherboard that comes in the ASUS PUNDIT BBONE P2-M2A690G system, will try to find out what it is and post it up if that will help! It has attansic Gigabit NIC built in.
Cheers,
R
