I have FC2 installed from scratch on an Athlon system and I have been trying to install a couple of 2.4 kernels (2.4.24 and 2.4.27) both of which are bespoke. Both are compiled on the machine in question. In both cases, the mouse does not start and the ethernet card does not start. The boot.log message show: network: ifup: interface 'eth1' not found and gpm O0o.oops(): [server_tools.c(76)]: Could not open /dev/input/mice although the subsequent messages claimed that gpm and eth1 had been started successfully. As a result, X doesn't start and I can't network the machine. It may be a header or similar problem - I have another machine that has been upgraded from RH8 to FC2 without problem while FC2 of course installs a 2.6 kernel. Can anyone advise (a) if this is likely to be the problem and (b) what I should do about it?
