Happy Christmas and thanks for the help so far! I'm trying to get a standard pre-built 2.6 Kernel rpm from Kraxel's directory to make all my HW on the KT8 Neo to work all at once. I'm probably being really stupid but get warnings that it cannot determine the dependencies of ataraid, pdcraid and ata_via during the rpm installation? When I try and modprobe the ata_via module it can't be found (which as far as I can see is right?) Also I have to load the 8139too by hand which again used to work under 2.4.21 during the boot up process. I'm runing a Shuttle Mainbord AN50R with AMD 64; the same scenario by me have to load the network drivers manually. :-(
You need to create a new /etc/modprobe.conf The 2.6 modutils don't read the 2.4 modules.conf because they use a slightly different syntax. It needs an alias eth0 <yournetworkdriver> and maybe a few other aliases if you use other drivers. Just copy these lines from the old modules.conf A distribution update would do all this automagically, but that's not written yet. -Andi
