Trying to install backport 2.4.27 on HDVR2 w/ 4.0 having problems

[johns22]

I have a HDVR2 with 4.0 sleepered and a USB200M usb network adapter.

I followed the directions from alldeadhomiez in this thread:

http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38167

I backed up the modules directory, deleted the required files and copied over the 2.4.18 files called out in the thread.

I added the following lines to my rc.sysiniti.author file for the symlink (not sure if this is correct):

cd /lib/modules
ln -s usbnet.o ax8817x.o

I rebooted the HDVR2 and now I don't have any connectivity. The USB adapter doesn't even get recognized or light up.

Everything worked well before, but my network speed was .75MB/sec.

Any ideas?

TIA!

definitely not correct. You want to do this *once*, not everytime you reboot.

Any ideas?You really want access to the serial console to debug networking problems. Once you have the appropriate cable and a serial console connection, look for any startup errors and check that the networking modules are loaded (lsmod) and that the network is configured (ifconfig).
