I built the 2.4.19-24mdk packages. They took a while, but they built (from rpm). I rebuilt them once from source as a test to make sure they built, but I don't recall if I booted from that compiled version or not. I have installed the binary package in vmware, on an "enterprise" machine, on an "smp" machine, and on an "up" machine. In all cases, everything worked just peachy. You seem to have a lot of problems with Linux that I just never come across. I see quite often you having problems with stuff on the list. Perhaps your luck just isn't very good. =) Seriously, a number of people tested this kernel before we put it out. We can't test every piece of hardware out there, but anything major we can usually spot quite quickly. I don't know why it doesn't work for you. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ Online Security Resource Book; http://linsec.ca/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
