Every time I compile a new kernel I hit some small error that makes my computer
almost useless..
Last time something went wrong and it couldn't mount the root filesystem. This
time I can't seem to compile my network card driver.(Realtek 8139), thus
makeing it impossible for me to get online (cable modem).
During the config (menuconfig and xconfig) I see an option to either compile in
or load a modual for my network card. However I can never select that option,
not matter what other options I try, its allways greyed out. Any idea why this
is?
I figured this wouldn't be a problem, the driver was there and it had
instructions on how to compile it. So fine, I did. The compile went fine, no
errors, however when I try and load it, it gives me
'Unresolved Symbols'.
That pops up when I do a depmod -a, insmod, or modprobe. Nothing I do seems to
work.
Any ideas? (Idealy I want to compile this straight into the kernel so I don't
have to deal with it anymore).
