RE: SS4000E Kernel v3.4 Config
Continuing this quest to move my kernel to 3.4 so I can use Arnaud's LED
patches. This problem with v3.4 kernel failing to detect the network card
seems to be inherent in 3.4.
Latest attempt was to install using the daily-images
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armel/daily/iop32x/netboot/ss4000e/. This
results in kernel v2.6.32.5 which detects the n/w card fine, d-i completes
and it boots no problem. From the boot trace, the n/w driver used is
[ 13.750000] e1000: eth0: e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network
Connection
CONFIG_E1000 is the flag in kernel .config.
I then copied config-2.6.32-5-iop32x that was put in /boot to configure the
3.4 kernel without any of Arnaud's patches. This builds fine and yields a
zImage of 1.5MB but also fails to detect the n/w card. It's also the same
using the _defconfig extracted from the deb at
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-3.2.0-3-iop32x
_3.2.23-1_armel.deb
I used the initrd.gz from the daily-images. I wonder if this is the problem?

Thanks again to Arnaud for suggesting that a smaller size zImage generating
menuconfig .config can be extracted in boot/config-3.2.0-3-iop32x of the deb
downloaded from
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-3.2.0-3-iop32x
_3.2.23-1_armel.deb
Indeed it does. This generates a zImage of 1.53MB which is good, <2MB.
However d-i fails to detect the network card on the EM7220 which I would
think is the same as the 7210.
And it's none of these listed by d-i, it's an on board Intel 82541PI
http://em7210.kwaak.net/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/HardwareDetails. There must be
another setting error since the iop32x_defconfig which created the too large
zImage detected the network.
I don't see this device in Device Drivers > Network Device Support of
menuconfig.
What to do?

the defconfig would probably enable too many things. In the debian
package, we're making sure that it's not more than 1441784B so it would
fit in 2MB. Look at your /boot if you already installed a debian kernel
before. Otherwise, download the deb from a mirror and extract its
content in a temporary directory and you'll get a boot/config-$VERSION.
