Okay, I got the new kernel installed just fine, thanks to everyone for the advice. The problem now is, I can't get the 3D to work with my NVidia card like it did with the stock kernel for 8.0 (I'm still with 8.0, but using the k_athlon 2.4.19 now).
Changing the kernel implies recompiling NVIDIA_kernel to match. Read /usr/src/kernel-modules/nv_glx/README.
Okay, I tried to rebuild the source rpm's first, and then tried what it said in that directory you just gave me, and I get the same result, this: linux:/usr/src/kernel-modules/nv_glx # make You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with a compiler different from the one that was used to compile the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but there are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour and system crashes. If you know what you are doing and want to override this check, you can do so by setting IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH. In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel. *** Failed cc sanity check. Bailing out! *** make: *** [gcc-check] Error 1 So what do I do now? It doesn't explain 'how' to "set" the ignore_cc_mismatch thing. Should I use that? What does it mean that it can't compile on this system? Everything is supposed to be the same other than the kernel itself, all my other things weren't changed...were they? I sure appreciate the help with this, and hope no one gives up on me. I just don't pick up on things very quickly as most people do. John
