 |
|
This is what is see right at the end of the kernel compilation.
It appears there is a problem finding net drivers?? When i boot with liveCD it finds the drivers just fine. What do i need to do to fix the problem?

make[3]: Nothing to be done for `modules_install'.

It seems to have a problem here:
| Code: | cp dummy.o /lib/modules/2.4.25-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/net/
cp: cannot stat `dummy.o': No such file or directory |
Try to remove it from the network device section and recompile.

| You'll have to forgive me if this seems obvious (hehe) but i did not install the netwrok driver in the menuconfig program. This may be causing my problem. So i selected the 3c900 series driver. Although liveCD uses 3C95x driver, i assume this is the same one. One question do drivers need to be installed as 'M' ? I did not istall them as a module so i didnt have to worry about that part once i got the OS up and running. |

No, you can compile them right into the kernel too.
