[olug] CloneIT & ifconfig problem

[Brian Wiese]

Does the system you are cloning the image to have the same network card as
the cloned image drive?  Sounds like it's not able to load the proper
module for your nic?

|KMOD: FAILED TO EXECUTE /SBIN/MODPROBE -0 ERRO=2

|
|KMOD: FAILED TO EXECUTE /SBIN/MODPROBE -s -k /eth0 errno=2
|/eth0: error fetching interface information: device not found
|

|configure the network connection?
