Re: problem with pre-installed packages when using re-compiled kernel (solved)
Hi Jacob,
Thanks for your suggestion - it was big help!
Changing the config parameters (specifically
CONFIG_PACKET, CONFIG_FILTER) and re-compiling solved
the dhcp issue.
As for alsa, I just re-installed alsa-lib and
alsa-driver.
Thanks!
