I have been trying to upgrade both a woody box and a sid box to a 2.4 kernel (2.4.16 and 2.4.14 respectively). I use make-kpkg and everthing seems to work fine but I don't have a network when I reboot into the new kernel. It looks like the nic module loads but I cannot ping anything. If I go back to the old kernel still installed on the system I have network connectivity just fine. I am using dhcp in both places so maybe that is an issue. I am installing it like this:
Running dslelect and getting kernel-source-2.4.14.tar.bz2 bunzip2 and untar the source menuconfig make-kpkg -rev cusotm.1 kernel_image dpkg --install newkernelimage.deb Then I reboot. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks WP
