Re: Debian problem
I had a similar problem with Debian 2.1 on an IBM PC 350 /w a 166 mhz processor. It had know special cards. I found that Debian 2.2 would work on it because it uses the 2.2 kernel and that particular computer has a bug which the 2.2 kernel recognised. Try downloading on your FreeBSD machine a boot floppy for Debian 2.2 and see if that solves the problem.

Since your set-up works with the pre-compiled kernel, it follows that you
have a problem either with the configuration of your own kernel or in the
loading of modules.
Have you enabled ethernet in the kernel as well as incorporating a driver
for your particular network card?
If you have configured these as modules, are you either running kerneld to
load them automatically when required, or else running modprobe at boot time
to load them once and for all?

RE: Debian Problem after Compiling Kernel
I am no expert, but...
Are you sure that you compile the correct driver for your
networking card into the new kernel? I get errors like
this after I have recompiled the kernel with the wrong
ethernet card driver. If you think you did this correctly,
did you compile the driver as a module? Are you sure that
it is loaded early enough in the boot process? (I usually
compile networking into the kernel - since memory is cheap.)

Well right off the top of my skull I'd say that your problem is the fact
that there is no gateway specified to ifconfig, so ifconfig is seeing you
try to pass metric as a value for 'gw' since GATEWAY is being left blank
and barfing. Try putting your correct gateway in the GATEWAY= line and try
it again.

I get the following error:

After looking around for some time I determined, this
problem occurs when the bootup procedure is executing
the file /etc/init.d/network.
Basically, I believe its a problem related to the Ethernet card.
Its a generic 10baseT NE2000 card. The card is recognized
fine on bootup and the module is compiled. I see the
autoprobe coming back with the IRQ of the card.
Below is what my networks file looks like. Can someone
help me target the problem? When I boot with kernel 2.0.29
that was installed with Debian, things work just fine. Am i
doing something wrong while compiling the kernel?

Perhaps it lies on the unstable kernel you are using (ver2.1).
If you don't need any special feature from it, try downloading stable

You might like to try using procmail to filter your messages.

Re: [DEBIAN] Problem on filtering messages from the list
I suggest you sort on X-Mailing-List: rather than To: Yes, using characters out of To: does seem kind of pointless.
