Well I now compiled again a kernel with all included, no modules. This kernel
did not get very far. When it came to initialize my network card (etherh)
it got stuck and stayed stuck.
So I tried to compile only the network card as a module, to look what will
happen. The following happened:
Though I had compiled fp emulation into the kernel, it still tried to load
the fpe module. But it refused to load the etherh module (insmod reported
that it is no module).
I could login! But I could not start X (OpenConsole: VT_GETSCRINFO failed).
When I started MC, I got the followin messages repeated very often repeated:
Can't locate module char-major-4
Out of file handle
Out of file handle
Then MC started anyway, but reacted in a very strange way when I pressed
keys: I always had to press 3 keys after each other to make MC recognize
them.
Are these problems normal? What can be done against them? I really need X,
and I need my network card, and I like MC.
