I had more or less the same problem and ended up installing 2.4.20 from Mantel and doing the following from the nvidia-installer-HOWTO as nothing would make the 2.4.19 upgrade kernel work with my geforce2.
I said it would probably be easier for me to downgrade, but the I discovered that the patched kernel: kernel-source-2.4.19.SuSE-115 k_deflt-2.4.19-174 seems to work with APIC on my system; with the original one on the dvd (release 49 and 74, respectively) if I enabled APIC the USB would not work - not to mention that it needs dissabling the barrier code. So I'm thinking again about using Mr Mantel kernel, as you sugested... but that is not specific for suse 8.1, I think, and 35 mbytes on a modem is problematic at least. I'm unsure...
- Kernel sources must be installed and configured. Usually this means installing the 'kernel-source' RPM with YaST2 and configure it then with the following commands: cp /boot/vmlinuz.config /usr/src/linux/.config cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux cp /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig dep
I think make cloneconfig makes the rest irrelevant. :-? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
