Hello,
Did you update your boot parameters? I mean the grub.conf to reflect the
new
kernel. If this was not done automatically, it will still be loading the
old
kernel.
You can try uname -a to check the kernel loaded.
Actually, "uname -r" displays JUST the kernel version. "uname -a"
displays everything.
And again, unless you do the "make modules_install;make install", the
new kernel will NOT be installed.
Many thanks and BR,
Mobolaji

Hello all.
I'm installing over a PC with 3 ethernet cards, one onboard
(gigabit) and the another two discrete PCI.
During installation I have no choice to control who will be eth0, eth1
and eth2, but I need that eth0 be the onboard ethernet.
In the end of the installation, it turned out to be one of the
discrete ethernet eth0.
I need to change that alias, so that the actual eth0 become eth1 and vice
versa.
Thanks a lot

One Fail safe way is to take the add on cards out and do a config.
Onboard
will be eth0. Add second card and do config, it will be eth1.

You can add the "HWADDR=" clause to
the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX file to force binding to
a specific name.

It's not that the device isn't detected, it's that the system is
renaming it. Often different kernels will scan the PCI bus differently
and the names will change. I hit this with two kernels with minor rev
changes on a single Dell 2850. Even the same kernel run on two slightly
different hardware platforms will cause issues. A Dell 2850 scans the
motherboard first, then the PCI bus. A Dell 1850 will scan the PCI bus
first, THEN the motherboard. Sheesh! Consistency, please!
The most reliable method to tie an interface name to a specific NIC is
to either create an /etc/mactab file with the entries in it, e.g.:
eth0 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
eth1 gg:hh:ii:jj:kk:ll
or add the "MACADDR=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff" line to the ifcfg-ethX file
involved. Of the two, I prefer the second one ("MACADDR="). One less
thing to look at (if you have a problem with NIC naming, check the
network config files instead of something in /etc). But then, I'm a
lazy cuss! :-)

Part of what udev does is deciding on the name for the mentioned device.
