Let me refrase it. Is there a utility for linux to create a cd image on a harddrive? any clues? Jeroen Verstegen jeroen(a)jota.nl http://www.jota.nl

I've never seen Linux share PCI IRQs though. Windows 2000 makes use of this requirement to a fault in fact. In every Windows 2000 I've installed, it puts just about every PCI device at the same IRQ whether you want it to or not. On my W2K system at home, the video, network, sound and Promise Ultra/66 cards all share the same IRQ (and there's no way of changing this either which gets right up my nose). I'm sure it would be more efficient to spread these devices over all the available IRQs and only double up when you've run out after all, the OS must be doing some sort of polling when it gets an interrupt on a shared IRQ to find out which device needs servicing. My SuSE 6.4 Linux server has 2 PCI network cards, a PCI SCSI card and a PCI video card. All are automatically put on different IRQs. Perhaps someone can tell us about IRQ sharing under Linux in more details but I expect it does it the sensible way by spreading things out as much as possible. Sean.

Re: [SLE] strange modules after rebuilding kernel

Yes, I think you are probably right, and those might be the modules or left-overs, from a previous build, but isn't make modules and make modules_install supposed to take care of that? I have never heard that I have to manually remove the previous modules directory before doing modules and modules_install. Is this wrong?

That also doesn't seem to work in user-mode! Before I emtied the ppp/options file, I had uncommented the debug line. However, whenever pppd dies, kppp tells me that debugging is not enabled, and offers to enable it for me. I never get any debugging output though. Again, this is something that works fine when I log on as root. Olly
