Hi all;
I have Red Hat 5.1 (2.0.35). It runs fine with two NIC's - 1 pci 3C59x & 1
isa 3C509B. This works fine with 2.0.35. When I compile the new Kernel
2.1.131 (I include both cards in the config for the build) I can't get the
system to recognize the 509. If I do an ifup eth1 I get a delaying
initialization method. If I do an ifconfig eth1 192.168..... up I get a
couple of operation not supported by device errors.
I'm thinking that I didn't finish the compile, build and install properly.
After the make bzImage ran successfully I did a cp
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz to move the kernal
image. Then I edited the lilo.conf to include:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=fubar
Then I ran lilo. It added fubar and linux.old (the original kernal) just
fine. I reboot and the new kernel doesn't see the modules for 3C509. If I
do a modprobe eth1 I just get the prompt back with no other response. My
/etc/conf.modules identifies the 3c509 as eth1 with options 3c509 irq=5.
How do I finish the build so that it can look for modules and libraries in
the right place? Or is there something else I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
JW
