i then set the lilo ran it and rebooted and selected the image, everything went good. but during boot no nic was detected as usual. do i have to re-do a make menuconfig and do the kernel again? or, can i just install modules for my nic? help? <3

If you compiled the NIC support as a module, you need to load
the module before the hardware is known to the kernel. If you
didn't compile the NIC support either as a module or in to the
kernel, then you should go back to the kernel configuration
(make [x|menu]config) and set up support for the card as a
module, then do:
Code:
make dep && make modules && make modules_install
Ethernet Detection Failure after .20 Image set in lilo and reboot
