ICS issue...unknown hardware address eth0 type 801

This is 64 Studio - Linux, not makeover.

Studio 64 in the UK anyone heard of them? Makeover? My wife is at work and has received a phone call from Studio 64, they are calling her back later. After a bit of thought I seem to remember hearing something some time ago about a scam competition. I believe the company is legitimate but the tactics used are a little to be desired. Anyone have any info/experience with this company?

Rather get your kernel from the master kernel builder himself... Free wrote: Hi all, according to my own tests and to the report on the list, I think kernel 2.6.28 is not yet stable enough, rt/latency-wise. So I've just finished packaging a new 2.6.26, with the latest RT patch, and a further patch recently posted to the linux-rt mailing list, which fixes an ALSA midi problem. Full images and headers are available for both i386 and amd64, just add: deb http://apt.64studio.com/backports hardy-backports main to your sources and run: apt-get install linux-image-2.6.26-1-multimedia-686 apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.26-1-multimedia-686 for i386 or: apt-get install linux-image-2.6.26-1-multimedia-amd64 apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.26-1-multimedia-amd64 for amd64, all as sudo. Ciao! Free

So, I tried compiling the kernel from within the already existing installation of Studio 64. I unpacked it into my home folder and started make. It resulted in the following error: mr@64studio:~/linux-2.6.28$ make scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig CHK include/linux/version.h UPD include/linux/version.h CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h UPD include/linux/utsrelease.h SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86 CC kernel/bounds.s GEN include/linux/bounds.h CC arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s GEN include/asm/asm-offsets.h CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh HOSTCC scripts/genksyms/genksyms.o SHIPPED scripts/genksyms/lex.c SHIPPED scripts/genksyms/parse.h SHIPPED scripts/genksyms/keywords.c HOSTCC scripts/genksyms/lex.o SHIPPED scripts/genksyms/parse.c HOSTCC scripts/genksyms/parse.o HOSTLD scripts/genksyms/genksyms CC scripts/mod/empty.o HOSTCC scripts/mod/mk_elfconfig MKELF scripts/mod/elfconfig.h HOSTCC scripts/mod/file2alias.o HOSTCC scripts/mod/modpost.o HOSTCC scripts/mod/sumversion.o HOSTLD scripts/mod/modpost HOSTCC scripts/selinux/mdp/mdp HOSTCC scripts/kallsyms HOSTCC scripts/conmakehash HOSTCC scripts/bin2c CC init/main.o CHK include/linux/compile.h UPD include/linux/compile.h CC init/version.o CC init/do_mounts.o CC init/do_mounts_rd.o CC init/do_mounts_initrd.o LD init/mounts.o CC init/initramfs.o CC init/calibrate.o LD init/built-in.o HOSTCC usr/gen_init_cpio /home/mr/linux-2.6.28/scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: Cannot open 'y' make[1]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 1 make: *** [usr] Error 2 My wildly uninformed guess is that make cannot mount a filesystem into ram? I strongly suspect user error...the forum referenced above mentions some additional headers that need to be grabbed from the repository. Could that be the issue? Is there a reasonable reference for troubleshooting/comprehending these sorts of errors? I hate to be a pest, and I would definitely like to get this old thing up and running... Also...is there a better forum/etc. to post this sort of thing?

...it couldn't get any easier than that! Thanks so much. If anything interesting goes on, I'll report my results/etc. Thanks.

There is a nice thread under "Installation: forums that explains the process.

..than I had realized, as I cannot for the life of me find 2.6.26-multimedia anywhere. I started compiling the 2.6.26 kernel in its entirety, via the simple command menu, and rapidly realized I probably would hash it up. For instance, there is no google search reply for '2.6.26-multimedia'. Where would I find the appropriate package? Is it a good idea to install it as a module? What install method would you recommend to a newbie? I've read a bit of the faqs and manual here. Can you recommend a reasonable reference? Should I research Debian a bit more?

The problem is that the Pad might have unsupported hardware, but not why you think... Try installing the latest kernel 2.6.26-multimedia. It might solve some of your issues.
