Hi,

I have installed slackware 12.1 on vmware server 1.0.1 with win xp. After that i did new kernel 2.6.24.5 compiling for vmware device drivers.

Here is my configs,

make mrproper
make menuconfig
make -j3 bzImage
make -j3 modules
make modules_install
cp System.map /boot/System.mapnew
cp .config /boot/confignew
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuznew
mv /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-old


/etc/lilo.conf
vga=normal
lba32
compact

image = /boot/vmlinuznew
root = /dev/sda2
label = linux_2618
read-only

image = /boot/vmlinuz-old
root = /dev/sda2
label = linux_2433
read-only

/sbin/lilo -v

cd /boot
rm System.map
rm config
rm vmlinuz

Here is the list of lspci command:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (rev 01)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX AGP bridge (rev 01)
00:07.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 0
00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01)
00:07.3 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 0
00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware Inc Abstract SVGA II Adapter
00:10.0 SCSI storage controller: BusLogic BT-946C (BA80C30) [MultiMaster 10] (rev 01)
00:11.0 Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] (rev 10)

I have enabled
Device Drivers -> Network Device Support -> Ethernet (10 or 100 ) -> AMD (PCnet32 lance)

But problem is there is no modules lists on lsmod command

Please help me

geeta

Did you maybe compile the modules into the kernel statically?

Can you post your kernel configuration file from the /boot directory?
