How do you do it.
I installed the source of the kernel (RH5.2 2.0.36), replaced the old rlt8139.c
by the new in drivers/net :
make dep;make clean
make zImage
make modules
After i copied the new rtl8139.o in /lib/modules/preferred/net without
installing the new kernel and the modules (make modules_install)
At the boot i got a lot of "unresolved ... in module rtl8139.o" (What this
thing means ?)
I had to install the kernel and the modules and it was ok.
I don't know, but I thing that i should have avoided this by running depmod -a
2.0.36 or something like this ... can you tell me more ...
The other point is the watch dog.
You told me that that the message "eth1 Request TimeOut" was send by the
watchdog.
I afraid the i disenable it when i compiled the kernel althought the only thing
i noticed about watchdog is "Watchdog timer support" (CONFIG_WATCHDOG) but the
help says that it creates a /dev/watchdog entry which did not exist before...
Can you tell me more please.. ? Such kind of message helped me when i had a
problem.
