Statically compiled kernel config?

[Jeremy Howard]

I've tried to compile a 2.4 kernel with the necessary drivers compiled in statically. It's booted up fine, as I see from my messages log, but I wasn't able to log in... No errors in the log - very strange...

So, has anyone got a kernel configure file for Power2600 which compiles drivers statically and boots successfully?

Hello,

Use the default .config file (from /boot) and everything should be good to go. It's best to compile controller cards (ide/scsi) into the kernel and everything else as modules (nic, protocols, iptables, etc).

When I compiled 2.4.26 with the nic driver in the kernel, networking did not start because of this line:

pre-up modprobe -v eepro100

in /etc/network/interfaces. Thank you rapid reboot :).
