RE: [PLUG] kernel compiling woes
|
toby -
i've had the problem you describe with the standard kerel as well using
dhcp, but it usually times out after a few minutes.
to get around this i just don't have the eth0 come up at boot time. it
requires an extra step for me to type "ifup eth0" but at least it boots
faster on the train.

Hi Chris,
With RedHat, you must compile the eth0 and usb drivers as
modules
and have them loaded at boot time. If you attempt to compile them in the
kernel, it will work fine until the first time you try to boot without
the
NIC plugged in. At that point, it will hang forever, attempting to start
the network interface. Just compile them as modules and load them at
boot
time. As far as I know, this is a slight problem with RedHat, not Linux
in
general.
