Re: [mpls-linux-general] MPLS Kernel Loading problem

[Adrian P. <adr...@gm...>]

Hello,

You need to enable NFS support in the kernel (and also network drivers into
the kernel), not as a module.
You can enable this in File Systems -> Network File Systems -> NFS file
system support (must be marked as *, not M).
But... are you sure your root filesystem is mounted through NFS? I didn't
think this was possible (or at least I never heard of it)...

You should check the configuration for your old kernel and activate the same
things in the new kernel and then activate the MPLS related options in the
new kernel.

Google for 'linux howto compile 2.6 kernel' for details and help (
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-kernel/55612-mini-howto-compile-linux-kernel-2-6-a.html
)

Good luck!
