[Bob Fischer <bob.fischer17@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In response to problems with the nFORCE3 Chipset on the K8 Triton
Motherboards, I'm making available 64-bit binaries for the Linux 2.6.1
kernel that I compiled for my own machine.

It's available at:
http://home.earthlink.net/~bob.fischer17/

The README file is below.

Best of luck,
-- Bob

=============================================================

Installation Instructions
=========================

1. Untar the file:
   su
   cd /
   tar xvfz /<your-pathname-here>/linux-2.6.1.tar.gz
WARNING: THIS COULD OVERWRITE IMPORTANT FILES, DEPENDING ON YOUR CURRENT
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION.  BEFORE YOU UNTAR, MAKE SURE IT WILL NOT OVERWRITE
ANY FILES.  YOU CAN DO THIS BY EXAMINING THE CONTENTS OF THE TAR FILE:
   tar tvfz /<your-pathname-here>/linux-2.6.1.tar.gz

2. Configure the GRUB Bootloader.  If you're using LILO, configuration
works some other way...
 a) Run YaST->System->Boot Loader Configuration
 b) Click on "Available Sections", then "Edit"
 c) Click on "Linux", then "Add".  When asked if you wish to clone the
selected selection 'Linux', say "Yes".
 d) On the "Section Name" line, set a name of "SuSE64-2.6.1" (or any
name you like)
 e) On the "kernel" line, change "boot/vmlinuz" to
"boot/vmlinuz-2.6.1".  Leave everything else unchanged.
 f) Remove the "initrd" line.
 g) Click "OK", "Finish", etc. to save your bootloader configuration.

The file /boot/grub/menu.list.new shows the kind of entry that SHOULD
result in the /boot/grub/menu.list file by the above-mentioned actions
with YaST.
