internet stopped after recompile, cant get it after using the backup kernel

edM · 09-18-2005, 02:34 PM

I was recompiling my kernel yestarday, cutting some more bloat out of it, recomplied and of course when i rebooted i got a kernel panic!

forgetting about that i then rebooted using the backup, ok no problems. but the 'internet' stopped working?

(i dual boot and its fine on windows)

relevent bit of kernel bootup:

Code:

Adding 1004020k swap on /dev/hda1.  Priority:-1 extents:1

i cant ping any websites, and i cant connect to my router.

Code:

root@HELIX:/mnt/floppy# ifconfig
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0

When i got a router last year i couldnt connect to internet straight away either, but i found a script on slackawre 'adsl-setup' or similar, punched in my info rebooted and the internet worked so i never thought any more about it (im pretty sure it was not the 'pppoe' script), but i looked for the script and couldnt find it?

last week i used swaret and updated from 10.1 to 10.2, no problems apart from some permissions defaulted back but could this be casue of the missing adsl script?

thanks for any help

adsl- scripts are named pppoe- now, like pppoe-start.
But that won't get you inet working if the module fails to load. Maybe you upgrade a package that you shouldn't had, like kernel-modules. Check that.

i made sure none of the kernel was upgarded during swaret.
