Ok, I did indeed get 2.4.27--r5k-cobalt 2.4.27-8.040815-1 working properly, thanks for that. And you're right, kernel-image-2.4.27-r5k-cobalt 2.4.27-10.040815-1 has the same networking issue - machine eventually goes down. I'm still unable to compile a kernel without problems. I tried the debian kernel-source-2.4.27 package. The steps I took were: I did a 'make menuconfig', then copied the included defconfig-cobalt to .config, ran make dep (no errors), then ran 'make vmlinux' and get the following: fork.c:410: error: syntax error before "this_object_must_be_defined_as_export_objs_in_the_Makefile" I then tried with 2.4.27 from kernel.org, and got it to compile by adding #define LCD_MINOR 140 to lcd.h, otherwise it would error out. But this kernel has the same issues as others, network eventually goes down. I imagine it has to be something simple I'm doing wrong, but I'm missing it. I'm new to Debian, but not linux, but I'm also new to non-x86 hardware. I know it CAN work, because there's working kernels, I just haven't been able to find a way to make it work for me. -Ryan -- I have often wondered if the majority of mankind ever pause to reflect upon the occasionally titanic significance of dreams, and of the obscure world to which they belong. -- H.P.
