Hi there! I just upgraded to Fedora Core 1 and I have been having some issues getting the network connection to establish itself on startup. During the startup sequence I get the message that there is no cable hooked up to the card and that I should check the connection. However, once I am successfully logged on, if I go into the network properties and activate the connection, it gets an address just fine.
Why would it do this? I tried unchecking the box in the ethernet device window that says "activate this device on startup", rebooting, and then re-checking the box, but this didn't do anything. Is there a file that maybe I need to delete and re-generate so that it can complete the connection???
Also, on another topic... I have tried to rebuild the shipping kernel to my machine's specific hardware, but every time I run the series of "make" commands, I ultimately get the following errors before the "make" routine ends:

I have tried downloading the standard kernel source from and that compiles just fine, but this fedora-customized version doesn't want to behave in the least.
Has anyone had experience with this type of error???
Any help would be appreciated.
