OK, I'll bite. How about some information? The only information you've (unwittingly) given here is that the system isn't recognizing your board. lo0 is the loopback interface, and lp0 is the parallel port interface, so if that's all you have the machine isn't finding your board. How about: - What kind of board are you trying to configure? - How is it set up? - Have you checked that the generic kernel will recognize the board? - Have you checked that the generic kernel will recognize the board with these settings? - Have you tried reconfiguring at boot? - Do you get any error messages at boot time? - What system do you have? - What other boards do you have in the machine? - Do you have evidence that your board is functional? That'll do for a start. But don't ask people to guess what your problem is when you have information which will make it easier. It'll also improve the likelihood that you get an answer. Don't rely on me to supply it. Greg
