Bringing up loopback - fails

[Andy Pieters]

Hi

Could you post text only please.

You made a custom kernel and most likely you forgot to enable support for your 
network card.  Are we to asume that it is the most recent kernel you 
compiled?  New kernels come with new drivers and chances are that if you are 
using an older kernel your card isn't built-in yet.

I suggest you boot your working kernel, examine the settings that were used to 
compile that one (you'll have to ask the list because I forgot how to get 
those) and then apply the necessary settings to the source tree of the new 
kernel and recompile (and reinstall) it.

Did you run kudzu on your new kernel? Did it say something about "The 
following hardware was removed"
