Hello All
I must have recompiled my kernel about 20 times. Basically when I try to start dhclient it is complaining about config_packet and config_filter not set in my kernel. So I set it to "y" and used
| Code: | | make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules install |
Then I copied my bzImage to /boot
Then when I do
| Code: | | egrep "CONFIG_PACKET|CONFIG_FILTER" |
I get:
CONFIG_PACKET=y
But nothing about config_filter  |

| Did you remember to mount the boot partition before trying to copy it to /boot? I know that caught me a few times as I THOUGHT I was updating my kernel but in fact I wasn't, it wasn't copying into the boot directory. |

| Thanks! Silly me. I figured there was a /boot so it was alreay mounted. My second mistake was to assume copying bzImage would do the trick but if you have installed gentoo using genkernel and your grub or lilo is pointing toward kernel-2-xxxx then this would have no effect. Thank you for your help. |
