How does one go about getting e1000 driver support for kickstart installations?
Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2003-01-15 05:12:08 UTC 
If you get unresolved symbols, you didn't rebuild the driver against the same
kernel.
Comment 2 Ray Parish 2003-01-15 14:36:01 UTC 
Can you please tell me how to get the BOOT kernel source?
I installed the kernel-2.4.8-3BOOT, and booted to it. I have the
kernel-source-2.4.8-3, which i compiled the module against.

Please see the driver disk development kit at http://people.redhat.com/~dledford/
