LAN down after installing kernel 2.4.24-1-k7
I am running Sarge, and have been using kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4. I want to
install a newer kernel and decided on 2.4.24-1-k7 (my box has an Athlon
2000+). After the install, however, I am unable to access the other box on my
home LAN. The relevent errors at boot (as far as I can tell) are:
Configuring network interfaces...SIOCSFADDR: No such device
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETWORK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
done.
It seems to me that there must be a module that needs to be loaded that was
compiled into the old kernel since all of the modules loaded by the old kernel
are also being loaded by the new kernel, but I don't know what it should be.
The output of lsmod under the new kernel is:

I am using the built-in ethernet port on the SIS Motherboard.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get my ethernet running on the new
kernel? All help appreciated.
