is it not possible to compile a new kernel on the box? or compile the kernel (that supports these hardware) on another box, then transfer that kernel to the SuSE setup? i'm just not sure about the 2.2 to 2.4 migration though...(haven't tried that, i'd rather go with a distro that uses 2.4 natively then compile my own kernel) -dre _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
