Thank you for suggesting that I compare two dmesg boot message outputs. "grep eth0" on the dmesg outputthat worked referenced HAPPYMEAL. The same 'grep' on the boot log that did not work had no HAPPYMEAL string. I had a 'CONFIG_HAPPYMEAL=m' line in .config. I changed it to 'CONFIG_HAPPYMEAL=y' and recompiled using genkernel. NOW MY NEWLY BOOTED sparc64 IS NETWORKED. The sky's the limit. :-) What I do not understand is how do I know which Module contains which functionality. If I had stuck with the '=m' config I should be able to add a module at boot time. How do I know which module to add? Ken Jones
