Upgrading kernel problem and Ethernet card failure
I'm lost now.I hope some of you here can help me.I installed Red Hat Enterprise(kernel version:2.6.9.8)few weeks ago. Everything work well including the USB drive. But after i upgrade the kernel to 2.6.16.18,my USB start to have problem.My pen drive couldn't be loaded.
Here is the procedures i had gone through:-
$cd /usr/src
$tar -jxvf linux-2.6.16.18.tar.bz2
$make menuconfig
in the menu,i choose everything related to USB.
$make bzImage
$make modules
$make modules install
$make install
Lastly,i copy the bzImage file to the boot folder.
Am i doing the right thing?Do i need to do some configuration to the USB or anything else?
THe purpose of upgrading the kernel is bacause i want to install the intel e1000 driver. The installation for driver was successful. But somehow, the network connection was just fail to work. The hardware that is the Intel ESB2 Gilgal network card can be detected but when i activate it,an error come out:
e1000 eth0 device is not exist
I simply don't know why.I hope you all can help me.And since this is the first time i write in this forum,i hope you all would assist me and give me some comments if my explaination is not clear enough.Thanks everyone
