hmm, for some reason the site won't let me send any pm's so I'll have to stick it up here, sorry guys

<removed config to save room>


next half is in next post (had to split it in two as its so long!)

old message removed

Copied. Thanks.

I was able to get the mouse to work when compiling this time, though. I started with a clean .config this time. Now my sound isn't working, but I will try and trouble shoot it myself for the time being.

Thanks!

i compile the kernel with no problems, but when i boot through LILO it break's with the following error:

UDF-fs: No partiocion found (1);
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hda3

Help please

btw i still have system acess througt my old kernel image.

Did you compile in your filesystem support?

A while ago I forgot to and got approximately the same error.

About framebuffer en 2.6.3:

I get the next problem while using the mode 1024x768-16, and it is that,
i see a fixed margin on top, if i do a clear, i can write for the first time in this kind of margin, but once the first content is filled, it wont be usable anymore till the next clear.

Any idea? thank you.

i guess so, I check the box that says reiserfs, but i will check

Make sure you have the frame buffer set right. Vesa should work with most if not all pcs. I tried to use my radeon video card to make it work and If I ran Xfree it borked the console. I switched to vesa and it all worked good. Also if you use lilo make sure you have the vga set right. I set mine to 791. I don't know about grub.

that's how i'd renamed my kernels in the begining. even after renaming, how is the association between kernel-1 and System.map-1 maintained? and if kernel-1 and kernel-2 require diff modules to be loaded, won't rc.modules for kernel-1 not be correct for kernel-2? didn't find out anything new about System.map's in page 1.

I'm getting a lot of problems with this 2.6.4... got it bootable. Good. But, where is my NICs? What? Cannot find the Ethernet cards, well and the sound board too? Let's try some insmoding and modprobing... what?!?!?
*FATAL: module nec2k-pci not found
what you mean by that? it's there!!!
modversion[s].h not found
WTF?????
don't have the slightest idea of what to do....
All the modules are there... stood there for more than an hour to get ir working - I mean bootable - but it cannot recognize my hardware. Neither the sound card nor the ethernet cards.... If you need my .config I will gladly show it to you.... thanks in advance

the 2.6.3 kernel booted fine. but it doesn't seem to load any of the necessary modules, even though they're uncommented in rc.modules. between 2.4.x and 2.6.3, i only added some of the new features and made some of the older ones inbuilt (were modules). pretty much the same config

Yeah, the same with me.... I saw the agpgart loading successfully (I'm switching basically 'cause I got a KT600 and need some support for the AGP 8x apperture from the VIA chipset) but it seems to not finding the other modules like ethernet boards and sound boards drivers though they're there.

sorry it was page 2.

If u ever wanted to know about system.map I'd stucked with it:

I'm an owner of AthlonXP; how can i enable sse support in the new 2.6.4 kernel? in config i see only Athlon/Duron/K7 family support, but no AthlonXP/MP/4 with sse... or should i choose PentiumIII family for its SSE?
