Hello all.
I'm having a problem right now after compiliing a 2.6.0-test4 kernel.
Networking doesn't work. I'm using Mandrake 9.1.
I've got a Realtek ethernet card, using 8139too. I've tried compiling it
in and having it as a module, and I always get the same error:
Sep 1 21:58:34 localhost network: Setting network parameters: succeeded
Sep 1 21:58:34 localhost ifup: arping: socket: Address family not
supported by protocol
Sep 1 21:58:34 localhost ifup: Error, some other host already uses
address 127.0.0.1.
It's frustrating, because everything else in 2.6 works perfectly. Feels
more responsive, and it's certainly a lot leaner than the installed
Mandrake kernel.
I've looked up the error, all the remedies I've seen haven't worked for
me. I do also get a bunch of modprobe errors when I boot into 2.6, but
not when I boot 2.4. Possibly just things to take out of the modules.conf
when I get it all working?
af_packet support is in as a module, I've tried it compiled in as well.
Doesn't help! I haven't assigned anything to 127.0.0.1 other than
localhost in the hosts file too.
Can anybody help me please?
