network problem
hi
after installing slackware 10.2 i had compile my custom kernal 2.4.31 but now my network card was not detected. ifconfig shows only lo and not eth0 only 127.1.0.0 is pinging. no eth0 is found. please help |
what nic is it? did you compile the driver for it?
|
when compiling the kernel, did you run make oldconfig or did zcat /proc/config.gz > .config. if you manually created a new config perhaps you're missing a new module.
it can also be possible that you're kernel is still using the old modules. btw the 8193too module is a common driver for the network cards. maybe you missed it in the kernel's compilation. Edit: renamed cmdline.gz to config.gz (this is the second time darn it) |
Hello, konsolebox... You mistyped - /proc/config.gz is needed, and often distro kernels do not provide this, so it's needed to look in /boot for config-<version> (don't know if slackware does it).
By the way, gangiyanrohit, when you build your kernel, don't enable /proc/config.gz support in general section. |
