Okay, I am slow... But I do learn ;-) I have unpatched 2.5.66 working right now on a HP omnibook laptop with 9.1 current cooker.
The install was fairly strait forward. D/L and unpack source. -make xconfig. (magically most of the options are already correct) -make all -ran generate-modprobe <filename> (must install module-init-tools) and save file as /etc/modprobe.conf -make modules_install -make install -ran lilo A new entry will be added to lilo. Reboot. The only issue that I have ran into so far, is that supermount is not supported, nor have I been able to find a 2.5.xx patch. So my NTFS partition can be seen but not VFAT... Thanks to all.
