buildroot to build toolchain on Linux

Sorry to jump in like this...

I managed to compile, build and run 2.6.11 acording to your procedure - I apreciate very much your effort and I'm hopping I speak for a lot o people watching this forum.

Of course, I did run into a few problems after booting:

First, my network interface (OpenCores EthMAC + TDK PHY) doesn't want to work. I get to see the link status (100FDX) when I connect the cable and configure the interface, but that's about all.

This, however, is going to require some more work on my part.

The reason I'm writting under this topic is that I get the following messages (boot time or dmesg) and don't know if it's going to affect the operation in a very bad way (or not).

(This should be the NO NETWOK kernel, in spite of the messages you see bellow !)
