🚀 go-pugleaf

Thank you for giving me the reference Homepage:
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/kernel-2.2/kernel2.2-upgrade-5.html#s
s5.2

Actually, I tried to follow a book's instruction to build the kernel.
After having a look on the Homepage,I find that I miss 3 procedures:
    make mrproper

    cp /usr/src/linux-2.2.3/System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.3
    # put the kernel in the /boot partition/directory.
    cd /boot
    rm System.map
    ln -s System.map-2.2.3 System.map

    mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.1.img 2.2.1


Also, I cannot find 1). System.map-2.2.3
                    2). initrd-2.2.3 by using the command:
    find / -name System.map-2.2.3 -print

How can I do this 3 procedures now ?
Will it be too late for me the above procedure now ?

I have chosen [Y] for 1). NE2000 NIC support
                      2). 3Com NIC support in the make xconfig procedure !
P.S.
I use NE2000(ISA) and 3Com 3c905(PCI) as eth0 and eth1, respectively.

Do I need to use the file /etc/conf.modules now ?
How can I know if there are really be compiled in the kernel image ?
When I enter dmesg | grep eth
it report:
    eth0: 3Com 3c905 Boomerang 100baseTx at 0x6000, 00:60:97:a1:f7:9d, IRQ
11
P.S.
3Com(PCI) can be detected and change from eth1 to eth0.

No, I don't think so.
I can notice eth0 when I enter ifconfig -a.
But actually, I use NE2000 NIC for my ethernet LAN.
So, the LAN is completely dead now :.<


Please keep Helping !!!
Thank you !
