I built my kernel with some defined options. I'm very sure that Alan Cox has set the values of SOCK_PACK. But no matter wat, whenever I recompile my kernel, and try to "ifup eth0", the whole system just hangs. It's the same for both 2.2.5-22 and 2.2.10. Miraculously, it seems to work when I use the default kernel that I get from the update mirrors for RedHat. So wat's the problem. I've looked at /usr/src/linux/net/ipv4 but there's really nothing there. How? Thanx in advance whoever? Ciao ST Lim
Does this happen if you install the kernel-2.2.5-22.src.rpm and edit the /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/kernel-2.2-i386.config making the changes that you want and then running cd ../SPECS rpm -ba kernel-2.2.spec ------- Additional Comments From 06/22/99 23:39 ------- I'm sorrie but that would not solve the fundamental problem rite? I've not tried ur thing?? Err... I'm trying to compile my kernel. Not just upgrading it from the module-loading form that redhat gives. Anyway, I might try that if it really gets me irritated... I'm running on the given kernel-2.2.5-22.i386.rpm. Okie anyway, I installed kernel-sources-2.2.5 and the same problem also occured. I stated just about the same options again, and pump just dun work. Neither does DHCPcd. To make matters worse, running pump -i eth0 can actually result in the entire system freezing. I'm using Linux coz of stability not to see it hanging... I hope u see my point. Anyway. I better stop this whining.. Ummm... basically, I'm sure that the principle of providing updated kernel code to the community is to ensure that there are not bugs rite??? I've got this bug... I'm not that good to solve it so I just need this little help to get this up and running. Thanx in advance... Anyway, ur reply is of help, just that it's rather limited since I'm looking for a none modular approach to solve this. So? wat now?
If you're still having problems building a working version of pump, please reopen this bug.
