System crashes using 2.2.1 kernel with ATI Rage Fury
Hello I experience problems using my ATI Rage Fury (ATI Rage 128) video card with 2.2.x kernel. With 2.0.36 kernel I use a XRage128 server from SUSE and everything works fine. Trying to start xserver with 2.2.1 causes system crash: the screen remains blank and I can't change to text consoles. Ping from another machine gives no respons. I have the same problem trying to scroll the screen in dselect or lynx. My configuration is: -ABIT ZM6 motherboard with a Celeron processor -AGP ATI Rage Fury video card - two NE2000-compatibles PCI net cards - SB64 sound card (PCI) - TV Fly video card (PCI) I already tried my configuration on my frind's box, who has a similar config but uses a S3 Virge PCI viedo card. Everything was fine. Then I tried to use his card with my box and that was fine too. I tried to use my computer with the video card only and it didn't work. Waiting for any help and sugestions. Thanks in advence Adam

Seems to be the only problem I *don't* have. Try 2.2.12 and see what heppens. Good luck! --Daniel

Should I change any boot scripts? Adam

The current kernel version is 2.2.12 with 2.2.13 being expected very soon. These versions are mainly bug fixes and chances are good that your particular might be already vanished.
