Hi folks, I have RHL 7.2 with 2.4.7 kernel. I have to put in 2.4.4 kernel. So I got the source for 2.4.4 downloaded, and followed the regular steps to compile it. Now, I used the old configuration file (make oldconfig).
The compilation went thru fine, I did boot into it, but... eth0 did not come up. Some googling told me that, the following options were not set in the .config file CONFIG_NETLINK, CONFIG_NETFILTER. I did a manual edit and set them right (=y). But now the compilation does not go thru, I get an error (NF_MAX_HOOKS not declared) in netfilter.c and it bails out. Also, the README mentions that to compile this kernel, one should have gcc-2.91.66, while version I have is 2.96. Can this difference in gcc may cause the problem ? Or did I go wrong in manually editing the .config file ? How do I get this kernel to compile with eth0 up ? Thanks in advance. Cheers, --amar -- Amarendra A.
