Let me get this out first: perhaps I am an idiot for trying to
build 2.0.35 (pre-5 w/Alpha patches) using egcs; I've tried 1.0.2 (stock
RedHat-5.1) and 1.0.3a RPM. If this is the problem stop me now. :)
Otherwise, I can build a kernel and it boots up fine, but there are
a few things which just do not work at all. First, my DE4x5 PCI ethernet
card is detected but doesn't work (never gets an interrupt, and it's oddly
detected at a different IO address), and second, all ipfwadm commands fail
with "setsockopt: invalid argument". The system is Avanti (Mustang) being
built with ALPHA_SRM_SETUP and booting via SRM console v6.8. I have
compiled in IP forwarding, firewalling and masquerading (which I've been
using extensively for years on x86). Here is a sample of an strace for
ipfwadm:
execve("/sbin/ipfwadm", ["ipfwadm", "-F", "-a", "accept", "-m", "-S", "192.168.2.0/24", "-W", "ppp0"], [/* 17 vars */]) = 0

setsockopt(3, IPPROTO_IP65, [0], 96) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
write(2, "ipfwadm: setsockopt failed: Inva"..., 45ipfwadm: setsockopt failed: Invalid argument
) = 45
exit(-1) = ?
Another little cosmetic problem is that modprobe says it can't locate
module ppp0, but PPP is compiled into the kernel.
Any ideas?
