Re: able to bootp/NFS-install/reboot R4400SC Indy

[Chad Carlin <chad@dallas.sgi.com>]

Ralf,

On closer observation......

The message in the syslog is as follows:
kernel: kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k net-pf-N, errno = 2

ls -l /sbin/modprobe
.....No such file or directory

Obviously, I need modprobe. I wonder how I didn't get modprobe?

Other info:
uname -r  = 2.1.131

cat /proc/cpuinfo

cpu: MIPS
cpu model: R4000SC V6.0
system type: SGI Indy
BogoMIPS: 99.94
........

Let me know if you want to see more.
