Hello, I successfully compiled, installed and booted kernel 2.6.34.1 on my Asus Eee 1000H.
There is a major problem - networking does not work at all for me in this setup with the new kernel.
I use Debian distro on this notebook.
I don't have previous experience with submitting a kernel bug and would like to learn how to do it to be able to help the community.
There is a tool called reportbug in debian, but it is too much automated, I think - it automatically fills in the kernel version I booted to right now, but I need to report bug to different kernel version, in which networking does not work.
Explain why you think this is a kernel bug, as opposed to simply a configuration error. What steps have you taken to track this down to a kernel bug? Simply trying to run a kernel that you compiled, and having something fail is not a useful test of a kernel.
I'm not trying to be dismissive, but really, if you had some skill in the area of kernel testing, you wouldn't be asking this question. On the other hand, this would probably one of the best places to get help with your problem. If you provide more detail, someone will likely be able to help you work through it.
