The nvidia driver on the site was still on 4499 when I read the original
message, must've been hitting a webcache somewhere. It's there now.

You've not got the RAID on the silicon image on-board SATA working though,
I'll wager...

Just a pain that the kernel won't patch with those from that message.
Obviously too old now to accept them.
Just have to try to cheat the driver into working, by compiling a later
2.4.21- kernel and putting the build number in the makefile back to 102.
