I managed to install S.O. 5.1 (StarDivision) with slink and 2.0.36, and it did work fine. Now it's S.O. 5.1a (Sun) the one which I can't have up and working with a partly installed potato and 2.2.10. The problem here is not that it doesn't work, but I can't even install it. As I said earlier, the installation screen shows up "frozen", and it hangs the whole system, leaving me with the only alternative of having to press the reset button (so, I won't be giving it many more chances). I looked at kt.linuxcare.org, and through the kernel developers discussion about it. I found no patch whatsoever. I agree that if it is a failure of the program and not of the kernel, the kernel SHOULD NOT be fixed (as there's nothing to fix in it, but in S.O.). Therefore, if kernel 2.2.13 has the fix (and it seems most ppl using it have no problems with S.O.), that's a wrong approach. Instead, patches should be provided, though never integrated with the kernel.
