Hello and Happy New Year! I was just updating from kernel linux-2.6.24-gentoo-r7 to linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r7 using the "oldconfig" method, and I cannot get the new kernel to load my network. I have Intel network hardware that runs on the E1000 driver, which I generally compile right into the kernel - never had any problem. For some reason, the linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r7 kernel leaves me netless. I try to start the "net.eth0", and it says 'please verify your hardware driver' or something to that extent. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I just compiled linux-2.6.25-gentoo-r9, and everything runs fine - no network problems at all! Is this a known problem, or have I run into a freak case of bad luck? Cheers, Denis
