Hi, okay I have compiled and installed the new kernel on my woody system. The compile went without problems and the kernel boots up with no error messages (at least if I don't mount devfs, looks like devfsd is not setting some symlinks properly like /dev/rtc ...)
The kernel won't recognize my network card though. I have a 3Com Etherlink III card, which is supported by the 3c509 driver. I have it compiled-in with kernel 2.2.18 and I've never had problems before. It won't work with kernel 2.4.0 though, when I have it compiled-in. When I compile it as a module and try to modprobe it, I get: 23:02 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/viktor # modprobe 3c509 /lib/modules/2.4.0/kernel/drivers/net/3c509.o: invalid parameter parm_io /lib/modules/2.4.0/kernel/drivers/net/3c509.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.0/kernel/drivers/net/3c509.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.0/kernel/drivers/net/3c509.o: insmod 3c509 failed 23:02 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/viktor # I have up-to-date modutils (2.4.1) from woody and I can modprobe other modules without problems. 23:02 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/viktor # lsmod Module Size Used by dummy 1168 0 (unused) 23:02 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/viktor # Any idea what I could be missing?
