Hi all. I finally got my kernel to boot, and after doing a make oldconfig and editing .config to answer y to tulip support, the kernel boots. It probes my ethernet card and calls it eth0. It also displays its mac address and finds it on irq 10. However, the problem is that when I check dev to make sure eth0 is present, it isn't there. Why would the device not be initialized into a device file if it was probed successfully? This doesn't really make sense to me, considering that everything went ok. And naturally, I couldn't do ifconfig dhcp because it didn't find the network interface? How could I go about fixing this problem? Thanks in advance!
