I finally got 2.4.20 to build. After learning not to worry too much about the RAW and WAW warnings (and some others just as scary) I made it. Another big problem was config. For a while I was making no progress so I thought I would start from the config for 2.4.19, after all its running. But this still through me off. As far as I can tell the .config file installed by debian did not match the actual config the kernel was built to. In particular, I had to turn off RTC, NVRAM and OSS sound in order to make it through the modules. Now I want to install NVIDIA Made the change per README.IA64, then make install build was good but errors loading nvidia.o Did lsmod and noticed no agpgart module tried to modprobe agpgart failed -- unresolved symbol acpi_hp_csr_space
acpi_hp_csr_space is there in the kernel, in System.map But I see that other symbols that are not "unresolved" have two additional entries so I guess acpi_hp_csr_space has not been labeled to be "module accessable" I think this is a BUG (it sure bit like a bug) because make config lets you build agpgart as a module. But I guess the easiest short term solution is to re-build, yet again, the kernel with agpgart in the kernel. I think I'm on the right track; I would appreciate if someone more expert check over my description and tell if I'm nuts or not. Thanks, Richard Harke
