RE: [SLE] I lost my localhost

23 Feb 2000

      Not entirely sure about the localhost problem...  (take a look at /etc/hosts
maybe?)

On my system, in /etc/modules.conf char-major-4 is the serial driver...  I
had exactly the same problem on bootup until I compiled the serial port
module...

Dont need to rebuild the entire kernal...  Just run "make menuconfig" from
the linux source dir, select serial to be compiled as a module, exit the
config and run "make modules" then "make modules_install"
...

Subject: [SLE] I lost my localhost
Hi ,
I was hoping you kind folks could help me with a networking 
problem.  I
have a 3 computer net with win98/linux dual boot.
The win stuff is a no-brainer.
But Linux...
I upgraded my kernel from 2.0.36 to 2.2.12 and rebuilt 2.2.12 several
times until I got my pci nic card to work (rior to the 
upgrade the nic 
driver would not compile) In the process, I did something??? 
and lost my
localhost.
I also have a message while booting:
modprobe can't locate module char-major-4
My modem gets initialized (i'm sending this message) conf.modules
shows char-mahjor-4 to be a serial device.  I suspect this is 
unrelated
to the localhost problem and that I will probably need to rebuild
the kernel again but I am not certain.
The dummy device and eth0 get set up just fine and the nic 
works (I can
ping the other computers).
My /etc/hosts file has 
127.0.0.1 localhost 
192.168.244.001 Darius.Jets.gr Darius
ifconfig shows

My other Linux has a 2.2.5 kernel and doesn't suffer from 
this problem.
the only difference I can see other than the kernel is that the 2.2.5
doesn't have a dummy device.
If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions I would really appreciate
hearing them.
Thanks,
Rod
