Hello; I recently obtained and installed Debian 1.3.1 off the InfoMagic CD. It installs kernel 2.0.29. I then downloaded and compiled kernel ver 2.1.62 and 2.1.63 and upon booting I get the following error:
SIOCADDRT: Invalid Arguement SIOCADDRT: Invalid Arguement After looking around for some time I determined, this problem occurs when the bootup procedure is executing the file /etc/init.d/network. Basically, I believe its a problem related to the Ethernet card. Its a generic 10baseT NE2000 card. The card is recognized fine on bootup and the module is compiled. I see the autoprobe coming back with the IRQ of the card. Below is what my networks file looks like. Can someone help me target the problem? When I boot with kernel 2.0.29 that was installed with Debian, things work just fine. Am i doing something wrong while compiling the kernel? Thanks in advance, Vaibhav Goel #---------------begin /etc/network #! /bin/sh ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 route add -net 127.0.0.0 IPADDR=204.69.208.4 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=204.69.208.0 BROADCAST=204.69.208.255 GATEWAY= ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST} route add -net ${NETWORK} [ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
