I have installed last night and thanks to pixel's hd_reiser img it worked (although i had to rename the images on the disk to hd.rdz and change syslinux.cfg. the only thing i can decipher is that possibly a problem with the syslinux boot and the "_" char. I am not sure i will have to run some more tests... but non the less it installed with out a hitch. I am very impressed! (especialy with the new g200 3d dri drivers!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes!!!!!) thank you guys, you have set everything up flawlessly! now on to the few problems that I did had (and of couse it's still beta!) on compileing agpgart into kernel (not as a module) as it is recomended on many sites for stablity as currently the module has my x sys restart 6 times then black screen and i have to reboot. .... first of all in /usr/src/linux-2.2.17/drivers/char/agp/Makefile ... output = agp.o in /usr/src/linux-2.2.17/drivers/char/Makefile it is looking for agpgart.o... one of them has to be changed ---------- secound after changeding either place that compiles perfectly.. but.. in /usr/src/linux/init/main.c there are two var's that are linked to agpgart... extern int agp_initialize (void); extern void agp_setup(char *str, int *ints; the compile of the kernel failes because these var's are not delcared. the first agp_initialize is not found in the drivers/char/agp source at all agp_setup is in drivers/char/agp/agp.h so i'm a simple include of agp.h in main.c would solve the secound , but i am not sure as to the first- 09/23/00 9:38:42 [darkangel:/usr/src/linux/init] <7> rpm -q kernel kernel-2.2.17-11mdk --- is the 2.2 kernel version ok secound.. quite deteremined last night to play quake 3 on my shiny new mandrake x4 system... I go and install the hackkernel (yeaaaah no more dep problems rusulting to the two source instaled!yeahhhhhh! .. thank you:) once again i run the makings of the make xconfig, configure my kernel, make dep, make bzImage... on the first note when are we going to make it possible to have a non smp 2.4 kernel, if you don't select smp support the kernel compile crashes and bails very earlie on in the compile. .. anywayz compile worked fine . but on the final ld it segfaults (on the actual ld line)! the final line is bellow.. any one have any ideas? I'm asuming the kernel source it's self can't be to blaim but a malfuncting ld? or am i wrong? ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-hack/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/k ernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o \ --start-group \ arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/f s.o ipc/ipc.o \ drivers/block/block.o drivers/char/char.o drivers/misc/misc.o drivers/ne t/net.o drivers/media/media.o drivers/parport/parport.a drivers/char/agp/agp.o drivers/ide/idedriver.o drivers/scsi/scsidrv.o drivers/cdrom/cdrom.a drivers/pci /pci.a drivers/video/video.o \ net/network.o \ /usr/src/linux-hack/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-hack/lib/lib.a /u sr/src/linux-hack/arch/i386/lib/lib.a \ --end-group \ -o vmlinux make: *** [vmlinux] Segmentation fault [root@darkangel linux-hack]# --- sounddrake is sitll unable to inilize my AWE64 sound card! much better though it now detecs and go's through the motions but it never plays the sample sounds.. sndconfig is still required. -DarkWlf
