I have 2.4.1 running on my board with ramdisk loading etc.
However when I try to use ping it says unknown protocol icmp.
I have searched the mailing list archive and made sure that I have correct
/etc/protocols, /etc/services files.
Also I can see eth0 and loopback interface using ifconfig
Anybody knows how to get ping going.
Thanks.

Had a similar problem recently. Sadly, my little brain does not
exactly remember the solution, but I believe the problem was that I
did not have one of the necessary libraries on my ramdisk that allowed
ping to lookup the icmp protocol in the files you mention.
I think it was one of those libresolv* or libnss* libraries.
