I am now trying my 5th compile of kernel-2.4.1-9mdk source. I have been able
to boot fine but cannot use my 3c900 card, even with the driver compiled into
the kernel (I am back to modular now). I simply do this:
1. make xconfig
2. make dep
3. make clean
4. nohup make bzImage
5. make modules
6. make modules_install
7. make install
I have also tried the above but replacing #7 with "cp bzImage
/boot/linux-2.4.1-9mdk"
Same results.
I edit my lilo.conf, run lilo, and boot the new kernel. No ethernet
function, even with the damn driver builtin. I once did an "ifconfig eth0
up" and that got the card recognized so that when I ran just "ifconfig" it
showed up, mac address and all. But running "ifup eth0" failed immediately.
I don't get it.
