I thought I went over this with ya Dark Way on the EFnets IRC SuSE-Linux channel last night. Your K6 is not the problem, Your Voodoo II is ignored by linux untill you tell Linux not to ignore it by wat of Mesa and Glide. Your AWE64 Sound Blaster will work with either OSS or native compiled module. Your s3Trio should work... and no problems with your hd..looks ok.. Hubert Mantel said you mainboard(motherboard) was broke??! I dunno about this, but ya can like try failsafe on the BIOS(cmos)..did ya mess with the bi= os at all? Many mainboard companys have new drivers that fix flash bios's up that might do your system a bit of good. Have you checked the Kernel messages at install time under SuSE? (in the gui of the install) I suggest a straight IDE Kernel..unless ya all scsi hardware..then compile for any needed features and to get rid of things you just don't need in the standard SuSE kernel that is installed at first. I do have some help on compileing a kernel, yes all my ideas after doing my own compiles from reading several different HOWTOS and such. http://www.teleport.com/~hettar/linux.htm= l> for the AWE-64 try http://cqi.com/~humbubba/linux/= AWE-kernhelp.txt> For all HOWTOS and links galore try http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/> Welp I will see if your on EFNET, better than efnet is undernet.org #linux but pls no BitchX nor colors nor spam :) Steven Udell - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e --===============4307104929662338875==--
