Then I guess maybe it's not an issue with hostname, so it's weirder than I thought.

I have no idea what some of those boot options are...maybe something in there is affecting things.
For all I know there might be a limit to the size of /proc/cmdline.  Seems like that would be a bad idea, though.

One thing I'd try is the dmesg command to look for errors.

Hmm...

Those bootoptions where all there after installation, not counting the ones I added: host=name, toram, ssh. Mydsl=hda1/mydsl is there as well (in the lilo.conf). But that one got added by the installer.

Before I post both (yes, two) dmesg-files, I solved the backup problem :): I added restore=hda1 to lilo.conf, which wasn't necessary the first several installations I might add...
After I did that, the backup-file (that seemed to have been created successfully the last time I tried) was automatically loaded.

dmesg1 (backup not working)
dmesg2 (backup working)
lilo.conf (Deleted those hd*=scsi options besides hda=scsi, to clear things up a bit.)

And I've set back the hostname I wanted to use, which is completely displayed: BocaDelInfierno :)

This weekend I'm gonna try the Intel NIC driver again.
Already contacted the guy who made the kernelsources.dsl, thought the problem was related to that.

Still can't get the driver working..

Here's some text from the console/terminal that I got after entering the make install command:
http://www.ravenslair.nl/files/makeinstall
First part is missing since the console didn't held on to it...

After that I ran a search, the module isn't where it's supposed to be ("/lib/modules/2.4.31/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.o"
if I'm correct). Instead it seems to be in the src folder of the extracted content of the tar.gz driver file.

So I tried these:
"modprobe /home/dsl/e1000e-0.5.18.3/src/e1000e.o" and "modprobe /ramdisk/home/dsl/e1000e-0.5.18.3/src/e1000e.o"

Both "can't locate module", but it's there! Okay, in the wrong place, but why can't DSL find it even though I entered the full path?

Solved :)

Adding this to the bootlocal.sh did the trick:
Quote

insmod /home/dsl/e1000e-0.5.18.3/src/e1000e.o

pump -i eth0
ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.145 netmask 255.255.255.0
