Hello:
First, thanks to all of folks out there that responded to my call for help in installing the test kernel 2.1.103. I now have a dual boot machine with a stable 2.0.34pre11b and 2.1.103.
First Question: I have 2 Ethernet cards in my system. They are both DEC Tulip DaynaPORT 10baseT cards. Under 2.0.34, the system boots just fine, and my eth0 is correctly configured by DHCP through my current ISP. My eth1 is configured to be a simple gateway for my network, using 192.168.1.1 as its static IP Address. No biggie.
When I boot under 2.1.103, both of the cards get detected, but when the ethernet card tries to get configured by DHCP, I get a failed message. I thought I heard someplace that the devices get read in reverse order, so maybe DHCP is looking at the wrong card? Not sure. Would really like to know if someone has the answer here.
Second Question: make menuconfig did not work for me. I saw someone else post that they had this same problem. The menuconfig screen comes up, but all it gives are 3 choices: A series of "-", Load Configuration, or Save Configuration.
