Re: Kernel compile problem

["Ian Wright" <nospam [at] iw63.freeserve.co.uk>]

Hi,

Silly me, I meant prepatched. The site is ftp.fsmlabs.com if anyone is
interested although I'm probably the only freak around who's playing with
it.

I'll have another go with the kernel compile - I wonder if it needs a
bzImage rather than a zImage? I'm sure last time I made a big kernel though
it told me and din't make an image at all.

Another subject:  I've finally got the linux boxes talking to each other
well enough to be able to run a networked game across the two terminals but
I've noticed a strange phenomenon (hell, that word slowed down my typing!!).
The two computers are known as 'brass' and 'steel', brass being the 'new'
one running RH6.1 and steel having RH5.2. When I start up, if I try to
'ping' brass from steel, it doesn't work - I just get total packet loss.
However, if I ping steel from brass it works fine and then ...strange
phenomenon....I can ping brass from steel. Like brass has to apologise
before steel will talk to it!  Any ideas what is happening or what I need to
poke around in to get it to work both ways first go?

Thanks,

Ian
