I'm using the default SuSE 9.0 Pro kernel. 2.4.21 I think it is. I'd prefer not
to compile my own kernel, because I hate doing it since half the options make no
sense to me, but it may come to that (or I could try and sell the board and get
something else). Do you know if there is a 2.6.x rpm for SuSE 9.0?

It's an nForce1 chipset.

Thanks,
