Hi all, I am using Linux Mandrake 8.1 on an Athlon 1400 System with an NVidia G-Force2MX Card which worked fine for several weeks with kernel 2.4.8-mdk.
As I needed to get the Snapscan e40 usb Scanner working, I downloaded the standard Marcello kernel 2.4.17 from kernel.org and built it. After that I installed the NVidia kernel driver from their website to get 3d accel support under X11. Now suddenly I am encountering random crashes without any helpful logfile entries. The machine just passes away sometimes (or sometimes often), and yesterday it even crashed the file system, now the machine doesnt boot anymore. How can I find the reason for this? Is it the new kernel? The NVidia driver? Or some tricky hardware problem? I just wonder why it worked fine with the older kernel?!?!? Any help appreciated Bastian Voigt
