 if you have the onboard Sil3112 SATA controller enabled, and no hdd's attached

 Either disable the controller, or pass:
 hde=noprobe hdg=noprobe to the kernel

I completed my 9.2 iso downloads, installed, and tried out the tmb
kernel, but I'm still getting the seemingly random hard lockups.  I did
an install from the disks, added Club, Contrib and plf sources, added
the tmb kernel+source and rebooted.  Sometimes it will happen after a
few minutes, sometimes after a few hours, and it doesn't seem to depend
on system load.  I don't think it's a hardware issue, as Win2k will run
for days on end without a problem, both sitting idle, downloading,
working, or playing games.  So I'm not sure where to look next for a
fix.  Any suggestions?  

Thanks for all of your help,
Hez

It's a kind of cooker but for the kernel only. It receives untested 
patches, that are backported to the normal kernels when they have been 
thouroughly tested.
Now there are 11 kernels, that are described in :

 what this mean? is there improvement to use sata disk direct as hdx? or
 there is still only scsi emulation for sata disks which was added in
 2.4.22.10.tmb ?

If you look at the changelog closely, you see that two lines above it states:
- sync with 2.4.22-11mdk

so that is from the main mdk kernel changelog, and it's exactly the same as I 
used...

For my next build I'm switching to a newer libata, wich should work better and 
also support some promise cards...

I  have a7n8x deluxe MB and mdk 9.1
can this kernel be used with mdk 9.1. If I have to compile some source code or 
install drivers for asus v9180se agpcard with nvidia drivers will it work.
