I'm running mandy 9.1 2.4.21, but recently I tried recompiling it to install a patch a friend of mine had given me. I managed to apply the patch, set the things I wanted installed in the new kernel, and then compile it. It boots up fine, but the new kernel can't find anything I used to have. For example, my ethernet won't work because it can't find eth0. I read online and learned it might have something to do with the modules, so I deleted the old directory and tried again. Nothing. Then I got an older kernel, 2.4.19, and tried compiling that. Compilation went off without a hitch, but once again, no eth0, and I get a bunch of "FAILED"'s throughout the POST. Is this a module error? Or do I merely have to activate everything I need through xconfig first? I saw that networking and PCI support were to be installed, is there something I'm missing? Thanks for any help.
