Hello,
Just upgraded from lupu5.1.1 to lupu5.2, and I get no modules to load when trying to connect to the internet via eth0 (no wireless on this machine).
To upgrade my frugal installation, I followed the usual steps replacing the necessary files in the directory I boot from. Everything works, and with greater speed!
But no internet connection...
Did I do anything wrongly? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
dito

Try to find the name of the modules and see if they are in the 5.2
Type in a terminal find / |grep xxxxx, where xxxxx is the module name you found of the 5.1

the two modules are there in the kernel, both xircom_cb and xirc2ps_cs, as you can see in the attached jpeg
I specified the modules in the network wizard, but they cannot be loaded, as you can also see in the jpeg
any ideas?

I am puzzled.
You tried to load the yenta_socket, which is the first thing to do, otherwise the xircom modules won't load.
But the needed yenta modules seem not to be there, which is strange, as I have the yenta support loaded in my laptop and 5.2.
Try to boot from the CD with puppy pfix=ram and try the connection.
If it works, then something has gone wrong in the upgrade.

Wait.
I suppose you have a menu.lst.
Then you can add pfix=ram to the kernel line also.
You don't have to burn a CD then.

I added pfix=ram on the kernel line, rebooted, and the network connection was established automatically with module xircom_cb.
However, now xvesa does not work, which I need to use, since xorg does not fit my video card.
So I think something must have gone wrong with the upgrade, although it was done rightly, as far as I can tell.
