Re: [TCLUG:9684] New kernel

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

glibc2.1 and later use "devpts" support instead of /dev/ttyp? for virtual
TTY's  you forgot to load that support.. it consisits of 2 options
devpts filesystem support, and devpts character device.

normaly, a standard ISA NE2000 card is automatically detected, with no
ether= statement necessary.. what you may have is a PNP card, that is
supported by the ISAPNP system, and since ISAPNP is a userspace utility,
you may not be able to inline compile your NT2000 card :( 

check your bios.. many have an option called "support for PNP OS"  if it
is set to Yes, switch to No, and don't append an ether= statment, and see
what happens

Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben@nerp.net)
