unable to connect to internet
I installed, compiled and booted kernel 2.6.9 and now I can't connect to the internet. My connection is ADSL from a laptop with no router or anything too fancy. I compiled pppoe in the kernel (tried compiling in and as module) and the network card also as module. The connection is configured with pppoeconf with no errors, but no connection either. I don't know what the problem could be.
ifconfig only shows eth0 and lo but it should also show ppp0
I have no problems with kernel 2.4.27 only 2.6 kernels.

Boot the 2.4.27 kernel and do an lsmod and make note of all modules. Then do the same with 2.6.9 kernel. If any modules are missing, then first try to modprobe them, if that doesn't work then you will need to configure the 2.6.9 kernel again and rebuild the kernel and modules.
NOTE: Sometimes if all you do is add a module then you just need to run make modules and make modules install but this doesn't always work.

Thanks, I forgot the ppp parts.
Although when I compiled them as modules they wouldn't load. I got an error "modules wrong file type" or something similar to that. I went back and compiled those parts into the kernel and now all is well.
