Hi,
Sorry I couldn't help quickly enough. I have not dedicated connection
to the internet, others need phone, and only upload/download mail every
24hrs or so.
I'm pleased you have now got it working. I am not an expert, but were you
going from kernel 2.2.20-idepci to a custom kernel 2.6.8?
That is a big and brave step due to the modularised kernel (>= 2.4).
So you are now running a 2.6 Kernel using apt-get? If so, 1) compare
config files (under /boot/config-xxxxx) against your custom
/boot/config-xxxx). Also the act of 'apt-get install kernel-image-2.6xxxx'
will pull in any packages needed for module handling. Oh, 'apt-get
install kernel-source-2.6xxx' should pull in any packages needed for
module handling?
Since machine is now deployed and working you perhaps have time to
research this?
