[redhat-list] the network service stopped

["Instituto de Ingenieria Área de Sistemas Unix/Linux" <unix iingen gmail com>]

Greetings:

I recently patched the kernel of my Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS v.3 and the
network service stopped working, this is the error that appears in the
messages log:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

nsmod:/lib/modules/2.4.21-47.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.o: insmod
eth0 failed

insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.21-47.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.o: The
module you are trying to load
(/lib/modules/2.4.21-47.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.o)
is compiled with a gcc version 2 compiler, while the kernel you are running
is compiled with a gcc version 3 compiler. This is known to not work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So in order to have a working network in my server i must boot the system
with the previous kernel 2.4.21-4 .
Can this problem be solved? If so, please,could you give me any suggestions
to solve this problem with the new kernel?

thank you very much
