Big hint is, don't use the old root= option with loadlin or your 2.6 kernel won't boot. Why this is is beyond me. Now If I could just figure out why I'm getting an IO error from card manager for my ISA pcmcia card adapter. Another mystery has popped up. When I try to compile source code for a realtek 8180 wireless card it looks at the kernel source directory and then it deletes the source code and errs out. Same thing happens with qc-usb-0.6.6 source code. Is the source deleting because these drivers are kernel options now? So I'm back at 2.6.10, groan. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
