Re: Lost Network connection after kernel recompile on G4



Hi Ben

Thanks for the response - I followed up my post with an explanation that I found a clue on Debian-User: I hadn't included Socket_Filtering - I did so, recompiled and Hey Presto DHCP works ;-)

Hi

I have a PowerMac G4 (Gigabit ethernet) 450Mhz dual processor.  It has
been working fine on the LAN using the standard 2.4.18 kernel.
Currently I'm still dual booting (MacOSX) using Yaboot 1.3.8.

I recompiled the kernel for SMP support and after a couple of tries the
new kernel compiled and installed successfully.  However, I seem to
have lost network connectivity - I can't ping the Router which is also
the DHCP server.  I haven't found a way to post the output from dmesg
to the Mac side so that I could attach it but I believe the relevant
entries are as follows:

What kernel version ?

I've recompiled 2.4.18 with SMP support.

Regards

Clive
