OK, I edited the net file on *both* machines |
| 18 |
identically, like so: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
# For a static configuration, use something like this |
| 21 |
# (They all do exactly the same thing btw) |
| 22 |
config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2/24" ) |
| 23 |
config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Now, the older box(K6) with the new install(2.6.15) |
| 26 |
boots without error finds the NIC and sets up the |
| 27 |
network. ifconfig reveals all is cool. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
But the newer box(Sempron) with the |
| 30 |
earlier(2.6.12)kernel finds the on-board NIC but |
| 31 |
doesn't set up the net nor give any errors. ifconfig |
| 32 |
shows only the loop device is operational. The correct |
| 33 |
module, forcedeth, *is* installed |
| 34 |
