Is there a problem with kernel 2.4.20 and internet connections?
I'm asking because my system was running fine before. The one in question is running Testing with 2.4.20. It was sitting behind a Woody box running ipchains and squid and everything worked fine. I bought a Netgear router and changed everything to use DHCP and connect through the router instead of through the Woody box. There are 4 computers running behind the Netgear router now. Two XP one Woody and the Testing box. Everything works fine except for the computer I run Debian Testing on. The problem: ping works inside and out to the internet. Traceroute works. Dig works. Internal connections (HTTP, FTP, SSH) work. Outside connections using Browsers, ftp or anything else like AIM will not connect. I booted into 2.4.19 temporarily and I could connect. 2.4.20 will not. I've heard rumors that there is a problem with the kernels causing this but I cannot find anything in the archives. Right now I'm recompiling the kernel and have changed a few settings but I'm not sure what may be causing this. Any help would be appreciated. -- As a computer, I find your faith in technology amusing. -- B. L.

Re: Problem with kernel 2.4.20
Upgrading alsa-modules caused an upgrade to kernel-image-2.4.16. I now boot the 2.4.16 but have no access to net. ifconfig does not show eth0, and an modprobe rtl* is installing an USB module and not the ethernet module. I fallback on 2.2.20 which seem to have a net/ dir in /lib/modules/2.2.20-compact which 2.4.16 has not. How do I tell the kernel to load the ne2k or rtl8139 driver (That's the net card I have) Svenn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

This is a bug in initrd-tools 0.1.37 and 0.1.38. Installing 0.1.39 and
regenerating the initrd image should fix the problem.

Is the boot failing before the initrd mount or after it? I think you are trying to say that the initrd image mount is failing. Please confirm. Finally, what is the fs type of your root partition?
