newer boot kernel?

[Jay Kusler]

Hello,

I have successfully used fai on a handfull of machines.  Nice!  

I have some newer machines with onboard Intel Ethernet NICs (lspci
shows 02:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 1013)
that are apparently not supported with the e1000 driver in kernels
2.4.20 and below.  So to use fai with those machines, I need to upgrade
the boot kernel to 2.4.21 or above.  I tried using config-2.4.20 as
a starting point, and the kernel seemed to build fine.  However,
re-making nfsroot fails with lots of module dependency errors.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Jay Kusler
