if i boot with my old kernel, a 2.4.18bf2.4, everything works properly, so the configuation and client are sound. when i boot with my custom compiled kernel nothings happens, no error messages. if i try 'ifconfig -a' the adapter is shown, but without an IP. I checked the dhclient & interfaces man pages. Here's my syslog entries with eth0:
sis900.c: v1.08.02 11/30/2001 PCI: Assigned IRQ 3 for device 00:03.0 eth0: Realtek RTL8201 PHY tansceiver found at address 1 as default eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xd800, IRQ 3, 00:08:98:ed:46:4e the only suspect line is: ds: no socket drivers loaded! i'll look into ds man page. p. >Do you have a DHCP client (pump, dhcp-client) installed? >Have you looked at the configuation file/manpage for same? >Do you need to send a particular hostname to get an address? >Not trying to be rude, but more information, please. Look at >/var/log/syslog (you can tail it while you restart eth0) and post some >error messages if you can't make sense of them. Start with the man page >for the DHCP client that is installed, and write back with details. >HTH, >Steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
