Thx. But still a few questions: 1. Why compile it? I thought that it makes a difference only once the new kernel booted (or am I wrong?!) and my 2.5.x doesn't. Is there no rpm for it? 2. So after installing this it should boot ok? 3. Can I still use a 2.4.x kernel after that (maintain my old kernel for some other stuff)?
Thx again for the help mate.
