Now that i have booted 2.1.15 with all the apropriate fixes that i have
recieved from this mailing list and other friends, i have come to the
conclusion that Linus had his new baby in mind (Congrats!) when he was
coding 2.1.15 :).

Even with libc.5.4.17

after a while my box started to "Crack-Up"

Now if you notice sendmail is having some problems getting hostnames
(plus sendmail is just a bug waiting to happen <G> )
Well the is because :

# Attach the loopback device.
/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
/sbin/route add localhost
/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0
(from /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1) -- just in case you don't know :)

This was giving me an error "No such device" ...

Well i looked in my /usr/src/linux/.config -- just in case you don't know
CONFIG_NET_ALIAS=y
CONFIG_INET=y
CONFIG_IP_FORWARD=y
CONFIG_NET_IPIP=m
CONFIG_IP_ALIAS=m
CONFIG_IP_NOSR=y
CONFIG_SKB_LARGE=y
CONFIG_IPX=m

and see, everything is right...

All the modules are there..

I have spent too much time today working with this Kernel

Hope you are having better luck than I am :).
