boa problems?

I am a little confussed and I don't understand what is happening. A while ago I followed hippo's build root guide and had boa running on my custom board. Anyways, I just recently attempted to build a new kernel for my custom board; however, I am no longer able to load any webpages with boa. Ping and arp still work so I believe my ethernet connection is good. One of several things I would like to do is to get both the access and error logs working, but ACCESSLOG and ERRORLOG are both unreconginzed keywords when I uncommnet those lines in boa.config. I am hoping that these logs will help me figure out what is going wrong. 

 

I also have a Cyclone II development board that I use for testing when things are not working well. I have taken the same kernel root and compiled it for the cyclone II development board and boa works and loads webpages for me. The only change I make besides specifing the appropriate .ptf file is that I change my ethernet driver from SMC91111 to opencores. 

 

I have around 13 MBytes of unused ram memory, I believe. When I run uclinux on my custom board, so I don't think I am just simply running out of ram. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I think I figured out what was wrong, after spending an a long time at it. 

 

It appears that the mac address I assigned my phy chip in uclinux must have been invalid in some way, because as soon as I changed it, I was able to load webpages from boa.
