Hello,
I will keep trying, I am running slackware 9.1 which came with kernel 2.4.22 so
I have downloaded the full source of 2.4.23, compiled and am using a working
2.4.23 kernel now.
I then tried copying all the files in the kernel directory that Luca provided
over and compile it again, with no luck.
Michael.
