I suspect you're having acpi issues.
You appear to be correct but in a way I hadn't suspected. I installed the current cooker kernel (binary) and then tried to bootup. Nope, black screen again. I then set ACPI support to ON in my bios and tried again, booted up OK (now I am just trying to build and use my NVIDIA driver with the new kernel, which unfortunately means I have to download the huge kernel-source rpm). I suspect that my previous "failed" build attempts with 2.4.19-24mdk would actually work if I set ACPI on for those as well, even though I disabled this support in the kernel config when I built it. praedor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+Vm3YwDUPEkSvRHERAl6OAJ413SvhcJ/6gZTtWJaA5Aftw7TT5ACghmZK +5DKHkCwEE1cGnVo22Og6g0= =XB6n -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
