Re: Lost my network
OK, it now appears that this alone is not the problem (sorry, but it takes me a
while to act upon the information I get).
I built a new kernel with the aforementioned options turned on, but I still do
not have the network working. There are two problems here.
First, a simple one: How do I access the messages related to this? I see a
message during boot, but it scrolls by too quickly most of the time for me to
read. I cannot find the message anywhere in the logs (/var/log/) or with dmesg.
Second, I was able to see the message briefly, and the error is that there is no
such device as eth0. Could there be more kernel problems? A config issue? How
do I get to a point where I can even analyze what the issue is? I'd send you
information, but I don't know or know how to get it myself.
Thanx,
msd
