How did you compile ethernet support in the kernel? As module or in the kernel? If it is built in the kernel
--apparently when booting it cannot find 'tulip.o' so i copied from my 2.2.14 & put into the /lib/modules/2.2.16/net/tulip.o
when i rebooted, 2 error msg appeared on the console, ERR MSG 1)kernel -module __version___ mismatch ^I/lib/modules/2.2.16/net/tulip.o failed. :i can't find any tulip.o from 2.2.16 src...is there any place where i can find this module??
ERR MSG 2)/lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/parport.o insmod char-major-7 failed -->this is inspite of me, changing alias char-mod-6 lp off
the funny thing is, when i checked /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/parport.o it exists.
is there any other place where it can go wrong?
Even if the modules is in the appropriate location, it sounds like the kernel is noticing that the compiled module is the incorrect version, meaning that the module is compiled for 2.2.14 kernel, rather than 2.2.16 kernel. I would recommend that you recompile your kernel and make sure that you have the appropriate modules selected. Make sure that you "make modules modules_install" as well. Or, you could compile those modules into the kernel, rather than as modules and make sure that you have taken them out of the modules.dep file as well out of the 2.2.16/modules directory.
