kernel error

post 29 is from my working hard drive. I have
a stock kernel from slack stable (Slackware 10.0)
on hda,...I have Slack current with kernel 2.6.10
on hdb... I reboot between the two.

hdb is not working...

...and you copied the /etc/ppp/ppoe.conf -file from the working one.?

btw.: i think you posted your outside ip-adress in post #29.
it's better to exchange that by " XXX XXX XXX XXX " for security.

and did you configure everyting under ppp-support ( under networking-support ) in the kernel ?

no I installed a new copy of rp-pppoe.
I only posted that to show you that even in a
working copy after doing an ifconfig -a
there is not a ip address for eth0.

the problem seems to be pppoe is not working
it does work with original slack current stock kernel (2.4.28) .

So this leads me to believe I missed something when I configured the kernel.

not sure where to look, I keep looking at the config, but it looks good????

well...about eth0.....i thought you had a router/modem ( that's what i have )

and for the prob. : just start " make xconfig " ; configure all that you might need as a module, ( in network support ).

then " #make modules && make modules_install " .
just to make sure you've got all the modules ( like ppoe )

I'll try that again tomorrow morning.
I only have PPP and PPPOE set.
I'll re-compile with everything as a module

I think I have to start over with make mrproper.
I made so many changes I can't boot that kernel
now. Its a good thing some one suggested saving
tha old kernel. I'll try that tonight when I get home.
