Re: kernel compilation, ethernet card modules

2004-07-15 Thread Francisco Castillo
Hi,

I has locate my 2 ethernet cards with the lspci comand, thanks chris.

Then i has go to make menuconfig and have selected this two ethernet drivers
in order to recompile the kernel. Then when i restarted with my new kernel
it has take the eth0 driver but it has take it with a message error of  ...
it is on half duplex sheame ...  so when i do a ifconfig it did not get an
ip on a dhcp query.

And the second problem is that it seems to not load the driver to eth1 and i
has security about the correct driver selected.

Any ideas about this two problems?

Thanks in advance.

Francisco.

First of all you should know, which ethernet card you have:
manufacturer, model, useful is to know the chipset.

- lspci could give you a hint.

then you can try to load the driver for your card with modconf. The
cards are named there, so perhaps it is easier to find the
appropriate module with this tool.

Once you know the module and you want to compile a custom kernel,
you have to use this module, which works when loading with modconf.

Other possibility: you boot with 2.2.20 and do
lsmod
this shows you the loaded modules, but if you did not compile it as
module, it does not show up (if compiled in the kernel)

Greetings
chris

kernel compilation, ethernet card modules

2004-07-14 Thread Francisco Castillo
Hi,

I has now instaled a 2.4.18 kernel on my debian woody, i has installed it
with lilo running my old kernel 2.2.20 too. My new kernel only has a
problem, that is :
it seems to not have loaded the module of the ethernet card, so it give me
the error  Error while getting eth0 interface no such device 

My error is described on
http://www.esdebian.org/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=18898

I has do various make menuconfig trying to set my ethernet card ( i have put
all drivers in order to catch my card), but i has not solve the problem.

I has seen differences between the /lib/modules/2.4.18 and the
/lib/modules/2.2.20 (i attach a ls of this directories) , it has no net
directory (the 2.4.18)

So i ask for help:

How could i solve my problem?
How colud i setup the eth0 interface ?
Is make menuconfig the best choice in order to do it?

Thanks in advance,
Francisco.

PD. I could public more info of my problem if you need it.

 it has a 686 ) but the problem for me now is that when i reboot the
 kernel canĀ“t load. It give me a kernel panic message , unable to load
 the boot.1006.  It seems like this new kernel dont works on my hard
 plataform, but it happens the same with the
 kernel-image.2.18-14-586tsc.

 This could be true?

I've heard of this happening (typically with Compaq servers, for some
reason), but I've yet to have it happen to me.

If you really want to run a 2.4 kernel, or you really want iptables,
you'll probably have to compile a custom kernel.  :/  IIRC you *can*
use iptables with a 2.2 kernel, but it's a pain to get up and running.

 How can i Knew what is the soft or version of kernel-image i must use
 in my hard system?

Anyone else?  I've found stock kernels work fine for me, but I've
occasionally run into hardware that doesn't run with them.

 Could be posible to has a kernel 2.2 of woody and a nat configuration
 (ipmasquerade) ?
 Could i do it with ipchanis?

It can be done;  it also has some very specific flaws and limitations
that make it less flexible than iptables.

 What could be this procedure to setup this configuration?

Here's a very trimmed-down version of a firewall script I used to use;
for a variety of reasons I no longer use this particular script or
anything like it on most of my systems.
