[newbie] Problem compiling new kernel 2.4.13 with mandrake 8.1
I bought a mandrake 8.1 standard edition in wal-mart a few days ago, and install it on my computer (AMD Athlon 1.2 Ghz, 1.1 GB ram, with motherboard A7A266. When I'm finished compiled the kernel, and copy it to /boot, both the System.map, bzImage, and also edit /etc/lilo.conf the map from map to System.map, I got problem, that is I couldn't ping to the network at all. When I did /sbin/ifconfig eth0, I could see my network card (3com 905c) is there, which means the problem must not be from the network card. When I used the kernel packed by Mandrake I can access the network without any problem. The problem just comes if I use the kernel I rebuild by myself. I already tried to optimize the kernel for athlon based processor, amd K6, and i386, but all just failed. Does anyone can help me to solve this problem ?

If you don't have the module, I think you can just either compile the module or install a new kernel (see KERNEL-Howto at www.linuxdoc.org)

Is that happened because Mandrake 8.0 use gcc 2.96 which is not a stable one ? (http://gcc.gnu.org). Anyway the Mandrake 8.1 should be launched around september this year, because in the Mandrake 8.0 complete I just bought from walmart, I got a coupon inside the box saying that if I buy Mandrake 8.1 power pack between September 15,2001 to June 30, 2002, I can qualify for a $20 rebate.
[newbie] gcc ?
I just curious about the gcc 2.96 packaged with Mandrake 8.0, is it stable ? because the "history" of gcc 2.96 packaged with redhat 7.0 was not good right ?

Probably you need more memory, because perhaps you have too many services run at boot which consume the memory. to control the services, do ntsysv as a root.
