Very Computer

Hi guys,

I am using Debian woody 3.0 and I experience problem in recompiling.  I try
to recompile my kernel with the old configuration from Debian.  The
configuration can be found under the directory "/boot".  I follow the step
used by "Linux Kernel HOWTO" but I fail to use my network cards with my new
kernel image.  Can anybody tell me what's going wrong with me!?
They are the commands I have used.

***************
make clean
make mrproper
cp /boot/config(old config by Debian Installation) /usr/src/linux/.config
make dep
make modules
make modules_install
make bzImage
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage(new)
(edit /etc/lilo.conf for the new kernel)
(reboot my comp.)
*************

Below are the messages I've copied down from the display during
booting.....unfortunately they are not found from the /var/log
folder....sigh

(...) are messages that looks fine to me
**************

Hi,
Probably you will have to create the Initial RAM disk.
See if your old configuration used one. Look in /boot if there is a
file named initrd.xx.yy.img. If it exists then you will have to create
an initial RAM disk for your new configuration .

For example - if my new kernel image is 2.4.20 then

# mkinitrd initrd-2.4.20.img 2.4.20

Also, don't forget to update lilo.conf
