I am afraid that I will be kicked off of this list because of this silly question.
But, I'm stumped, this could be because it's 12:31am and I'm tired. Here goes: I am creating a custom kernel for Debian Woody. For some reason I cannot get my ethernet card to load as a module. I have done the following: make menuconfig make-kpkg -rev lvm+raid.1 kernel_image dpkg --install /usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.18.2_lvm+raid.2_i386.deb init 6 The new kernel boots fine, but eth0 no longer can get an IP. lsmod says that I have no modules loaded. I double checked to ensure that I didn't build this into the kernel and I did! So I did the same process a second time, same deal only this time I made sure that I specified my NIC to load as a module. No dice, it is still built right into the kernel. Now I guess I don't really care if it is, the problem is that I can't get an IP from DHCP. I tried: ifdown eth0 ifup eth0 dhclient eth0 None of these things give me an IP. What am I missing. You can be sure that I have tested everything out, i.e. good cable, laptop can get an ip from same port on switch, computer is plugged in etc. Thanks for your time.
