I added the "initrd=/initrd.img" to the section of new kernel and it works. :) Thanks :)
But, second problem has cropped up. My ethernet has stopped working. I am using RTL-8139. I checked the config file for the new kernel and it says 8139cp and 8139too are not compiled in kernel and they are modules. So i used "modprobe 8139cp" and it gave the following errors" *********************** insmod 8139cp Using /lib/modules/2.4.19-686/kernel/drivers/net/8139cp.o /lib/modules/2.4.19-686/kernel/drivers/net/8139cp.o: unresolved symbol mii_ethtool_sset_R32d50a5e /lib/modules/2.4.19-686/kernel/drivers/net/8139cp.o: unresolved symbol mii_ethtool_gset_R887face9 /lib/modules/2.4.19-686/kernel/drivers/net/8139cp.o: unresolved symbol mii_nway_restart_Rad534404 /lib/modules/2.4.19-686/kernel/drivers/net/8139cp.o: unresolved symbol mii_link_ok_R122e52d7 jsahambi@ws97:~$ ********************** Can any body tell me how shall i proceed? BTW, if I use modconf, does it add the modules tobe loaded at boot time in /etc/moduels ? Thanks J S Sahambi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
