Kernel 2.6
I thought of trying out the 2.6.0-test4 kernel. I noticed a couple of
problems with it which I am giving below.
1. The kernel boots in framebuffer mode. If I give vga=791 as the
boot parameter, the screen blanks out and I get a moving window
telling "Sync out of range". The same setting works on 2.4.22. The
Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt still has the same codes.
2. In /etc/modutils, I have an alias for my nic as
alias eth0 8139too
If I do a modprobe eth0, I get
FATAL: Module eth0 not found.
But, modprobe 8139too works well after which
/etc/init.d/networking start sets up everything correctly.
As before, this does not happen in 2.4.22.
I do not want to do this every time. How do I automate this as in
2.4.22?
