Mike As I said I have had some peculiar results with Suse 7.3 and also the same problem, over the past few days I have compiled 2.4.10, 2.4.12, and 14. I did these with and without framebuffers (kernel errord out with framebuffers included in 14), the results were the same with all compiles. No text to secreen and in some cases no boot at all. This was all done for the bttv card to see if it was a kernel problem. One thing I will say I _could_ not compile sucessfully 2.4.14..................... had a problem in config_drivers_block that I could not remedy. Not for want of fiddling, for as you know I do have time to do that. It would appear to me that Suse does not like recompiled kernels or there is a special way to do this...............However they do warn in the manuals against doing vanilla recompiles. -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
