    i am jack's sense of frustration (simplyMEPIS eth0 disapeared)

    ok so at this point i am ready to scream out loud!!!

    last night i used synaptic to update everything i had installed...
    i went through the installation process which updated a whole lot of things (just about everything i had installed) when prompted to overwrite all the configurations i chose not to... (for fear of losing things) assuming that what was there should stay there and the new packages would just go on their merry ways....
    i am now having trouble with the following things:
    apparently it no longer sees eth0 ... so i obviously can't access the internet (which leads me to beleive that i will have to jump through hoops to fix these problems)... i have no sound ... i have the unbelievable urge to throw this box out the damn window...

    Code:
    root@1[fyrephlie]# update0rc.d -f hotplug defaults
System startup links for /etc/init.d/hotplug already exist.

    so does starting hotplug fix the problem?
    Code:
    /etc/init.d/hotplug start

    no ... it says pci [disabled] and net [disabled]

    i tried force-reload and it does the same thing.... and keep in mind all of this distro used to work great :/

    solved ...

    was finally able to find the pcitable on the simplyMEPIS ram disk ... and copied it to my hda in the spot where it was expected... and all it now well... although this ONLY worked because this it a livecd distro ... i want to know what i would have done otherwise.
