When I compile kernel 2.6.8.1 from ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.8.1.tar.bz2 'splash' doesn't work on boot, it won't mount CDs right (saying that it doesn't understand 'subfs'), and X won't start (even when I recompile the NVIDIA driver (I use the one from nvidia.com, not from Y.O.U.)). Why not?
splash is a kernel patch used by SuSE not in the kernel.org source. You can patch the kernel but I haven't tried it. Similarly submount. To install it, download submount-0.9.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=81174 $ tar zxvf submount-0.9.tar.gz $ cd submount-0.9/subfs-0.9 $ make $ su # make install Do make sure you are running the right kernel and check the INSTALL file in submount-0.9/subfs-0.9. You should can ignore anything in submount-0.9/submountd-0.9 because that is already installed in SuSE 9.1 -- JDL
