Re: apt-get install etherconf
Okay, it installed fine in 2.2.20 - rebooted into 2.4.20, ran dpkg-reconfigure etherconf, and went through the menu options. It detected eth0 (as did ifconfig earlier) and completed, then the spew: socket: Protocol not available - make sure CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_FILTER are defined in your kernel configuration!\nexiting So it looks like I need to #define CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_FILTER - but not comfortable enough with kernel compilation to know where to do that...

I'd just INstall the Binary Kernel... It works well..
I am currently running the Testing Kernel on a both Debian Boxen I have so far... 2.4.20-5
Recognizes dam near everything *I* need... (I have a camera it pukes on... way OFF brand, if bought in Taiwan, it'd have been a Cheap import knock-off of the ones THEY make as knock-offs...)
Get a working system first *THEN* screw it up... It seems to be always easier to get a Known Good a t one time system back from the dead that way... Same Idea in RedHat and Mandrake etc...

Just tried that.
Puked on me pretty bad (kernel panic), and so I manually hacked it back to the old kernel. I'd dump the spew here if I knew where it threw boot spew - couldn't find anything looking like it after I jumped back to 2.2.20. I may try again...

Okay... I *GUESS*...
I am just shicked at how hard it is to get the 2.4 kernel to workey...
Of course we both know, you have less "experience" than I... but that shouldn't preclude you from running the Kernel...
OK, just for Grins and Giggle as We are experiencing ALOT of issues here...
Why not try a re-install using bf24, select testing... and if you can, don't select Frame Buffer... UNLESS you have to... DRM might be better...
And this is still the first time I have suggested an R&R...

Re: Just tried that.
Configuring the debian kernels for the first time is a PITA. You may need to configure /etc/mkinitrd/modules. And then you need to recreate the initrd.
First off, lets configure /etc/mkinitrd/modules. It needs to list all the modules for accessing your root filesystem. So, you'll need to load modules for your filesystem and some for your hard disk.
For example, my one box with ext3 and a scsi disk has:
jbd
ext3
scsi_mod
sd_mod
sym53c8xx
For ext3 and and an ide disk, you should need:
jbd
ext3
ide-mod
ide-disk
Then, you need to rerun mkinitrd. run "mkinitrd -o INITRD_FILE_NAME /lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION". e.g. For my 2.4.20-k6 kernel, I run "mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.4.20-k6 /lib/modules/2.4.20-k6"
Last of all, when you set up grub or lilo, make sure you have the kernel parameter root=ROOT_DEV set. If you don't set it's root dev, it'll try and use /dev/ram0 as root IIRC.
Wasn't that fun?

Re: apt-get install etherconf
I assume since you need those options you are trying to use dhcp?
If you're using menuconfig or xconfig to configure your kernel, both CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_FILTER options are under the "networking options" menu. Both should be in the top half dozen options shown under the networking options menu.

Bah.
Not working. I got those options in there, but it still barfs with the same error message.

My 1905-S303 page updated...
[link|http://www.mikevitale.com/1905s303.html|http://www.mikevitale.com/1905s303.html]
Contains my XF86Config-4 file as well as my .config file from /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.19.
apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.19.
Try my .config file.
Make kernel (directions for how I did it are on the aforementioned page.)
Add to $BOOT_LOADER.
Reboot.
Let me know if'n that shite doesn't work.
