In addition to my Gentoo problems, an unco-ordinated MX change resulted in me not getting 36 hours worth of mail, so I've probably missed any replies to that. OK, so I waited a while between kernel upgrades *AND* there was a layout upgrade in the meantime. Let's just say that "make oldconfig" did *NOT* work very well. I got kernel panic, and it wouldn't boot. I hauled out the install CD, booted, chrooted, re-emerged kernel 2.6.16-r7 (yeah. I know, still "behind the times"), and manually entered all the stuff in "make menuconfig", and rebuilt the kernel. On bootup it complained about /etc/conf.d/net and pointed me to a new example file. I changed a couple of entries to... config_eth0="192.168.123.252 broadcast 192.168.123.255 netmask 255.255.255.248 mtu 1454" routes_eth0=("default via 192.168.123.254") ...and rebooted. One less complaint. I still have 2 problems. During bootup, I get... ==================================================== * Loading iptables state and starting firewall ... FATAL: Module ip_tables not found. iptables-restore v1.3.5: iptables-restore: unable to initializetable 'raw' Error occurred at line: 2 Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more informat [ !! ] ==================================================== There seem to be a lot more entries for iptables, netfilter, and xtables (huh???) than I remember. I obviously missed something somewhere. Any idea from the error message which "make menuconfig" item it was? Even though I'm behind a NATting ADSL router-modem, I'm taking down eth0, except when up/down loading email and news. Secondly, whilst trying to emerge/update ppp, I get ===================================================== >>> checking ppp-2.4.3-patches-20060707.tar.gz ;-) * Gentoo is moving toward common configuration file for all network * interfaces.
