Who's got a via mobo? I have and bx440 Abit BE6-II rev2.0 with a Celeron 500. I followed the instructions and the original configs all got hosed and the original 2.4.0 and 2.4.0 suse setup lost its sound and network interface. Yast1/2 won't re-install because the devices are actually there and setup - for 2.4.2 only though! I was just hoping to get some pointers as to where to look for solution and that's when a flame war broke out - then I got even more frustrated because the moderators seemed to act as if I was out of line. Just wanted a few answers - wouldn't bother me if they said start from scratch or whatever. I just didn't appreciate being told that asking for answers or help was not proper or warrented by suggesting that perhaps there might be a problem with the SuSE packages or whatever - especially in light of the fact that no one asked what happened in the first place. -----Original Message----- From: b stephen harding [mailto:big-lime@home.com] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 2259 To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Support vs Support (Was: [SLE] util-linux and Kernel 2.4.3) On Monday 23 April 2001 22:51, you wrote: lilo,
and viola! And RPM's, thought those were supposed to take care of that stuff. At least vendor specific rpms into the same vendor specific distro/version. But, heck what do I know, I'm a newbie!
A blind make config or whatever your are doing will not get you a working kernel. Just try to get one of those mobos with VIA chipset to work and you are for a sad reality.
There is more to updating kernel RPMs that installing them, it's all documented in the Suse web site and posted here by me.
What did you do and what error messages did you get?
Not sure what you are talking about. I've got one of those VIA Mobo's and I've just finished doing a kernel compile of 2.4.2 with success and you can't get much more of a novice then me. I'm running: AMD K6III 450 256Mb ram DFI Mobo with Via chipset Promise Ultra66 IDE Controller HDD 20.00 Fujitsu Picobird HDD 27.2 IBM Deskstar Sblive Geforce 2 MX This was not my first kernel compile though, maybe me 20th (not all successful). Honestly I'm not sure what some of you are complaining about with the support thing. Seems clear to me what SuSE covers in there support agreement. If you want to upgrade to something not supplied in the orginal package that is your responsibility. All my dealings with SuSE support have been satisfactory in the replies and fixes. They could have been a bit more timely though. LOL, the list most times provides the solutions first. Well most times anyways, when my posts don't get ignored. :-) -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the archives at http://lists.suse.com
