I have been a long time Debian user, and I have compiled many custom kernels for my system in the past. I previously ran Woody and had installed a custom 2.4.2 kernel and a 2.4.4 kernel. Recently I bought a new hard drive and had to reinstall Woody fresh.
After installing Woody from the iso-image, I had a working 2.2.19 kernel, with several net modules, including the tulip driver for my NIC. I downloaded and configured the 2.4.7 kernel source, using nearly identical answers from my previous 2.4.4 kernel, adjusting for new features. Upon rebooting, I found that my new kernel functioned almost perfectly, except that the network card will not initialize. It works fine if I reboot with 2.2.19, and I never had problems before with earlier kernel versions. The dhcp-client cannot assign an ip to the card, because it seems that remote networking is not functional. Since the older 2.4.x kernel sources are no longer available, I need to figure out how to get this version working properly. Can anyone help me debug this? I would be happy to post any information that would be useful here abotu my configuration, if needed. Thanks, Scott Von Duhn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
