A lot of things. F9 has KDE 4 (currently 4.1.1), F8 has KDE 3 (currently 
3.5.10). F9 has X.Org X11R7.4 (server 1.5.0), F8 has something inbetween 
X11R7.2 and X11R7.3 (server 1.3.0 from X11R7.2). F9 has GNOME 2.22, F8 has 
GNOME 2.20. F9 has TeXLive, F8 has teTeX. And so on.

But most importantly, F8 will stop receiving updates very soon (1 month after 
the F10 release - with the F10 release scheduled for November, that will be 
December of this year).

Dear All,

For FC9 ( Modules Profile )...
Do you know where is it ( modprobe.conf ) ?

In FC8, it is /etc/modprobe.conf...

Thanks !

Edward.

It's in the same place.

Without wanting to sound rude, here, I have to ask...why...did you think
it would be some place else?

F9 hides more of the module configuration guts by default, so it's possible to 
get away without a modprobe.conf, at least on some hardware.  If you need to 
configure things manually, just create modprobe.conf yourself and put your 
directives in there.

Hello,

I just add an adapter ( PCI NIC ) for the test :

/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 8139too ( a new one )
alias eth1 r8169

Then /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart :
[root@svr1 ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ]
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth1: r8169 device eth1 does not seem to be
present, delaying initialization.
[FAILED]
[root@svr1 ~]#

BTW /var/log/messages :
kernel : udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth1

So, is there any solution for these two points problem ?

Thanks !

Edward.

Well, the question is...is your card actually an 8169, or is it an 8139,
and did you make a mistake when you edited your modprobe.conf file?
