I'll answer the second question first.. don't install 2.5.x if you want a stable system, its a dev kernel.. eventually to become standard when it hits 2.6.x.
as for the 2.2.10 kernel, no, don't run it on a mandrake system, you'll have all manner of probs. better you join the kernel mailing list and get directions to get a patch for the 2.4.18/19 kernels... Someone must have ported them accross... if you get a patch, then install the kernel src rpm, and add the patch, compile it and your off and running. it's easier then it sounds. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Barry Michels Sent: Friday, 29 November 2002 2:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Kernels Is there any reason why someone would/should not run an older kernel? I've got some gigabit ethernet cards that only have drivers for 2.2.10. I see that I have 2 choices (besides sending them back for something better): find a way to force them to work with 2.4.18 or downgrade to 2.2.10. Also, is there any reason to try 2.5.x? Barry
