I didn't use the RPMs - I just downloaded the source from www.kernel.org and
built it. But your suggestion worked. I figured out what modules were needed
and added them into my kernel.
Here's my next question though: When I booted with the new kernel, my eth0
didn't come up properly. When I manually enter:
$ insmod 8390
$ insmod ne2k-pci
everything is fine so it seems like something isn't happening correctly at
boot time. Does anyone know what boot scripts I should check out? What
script decides what network modules to load into the kernel?
Finally, can someone tell me what "make install" does when building the
kernel?
