Re: Kernel recompilation error

[Rahul Jain <rbj2@oak.njit.edu>]

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

I tried compiling a new kernel with the "Loopback Device Support" option
in 'menuconfig' set as a module. However I am still getting the same error.
Is there something more that I am missing ?? I am using RH9

Thanks,
Rahul.
