Hi NetPeople I run Suse 5.3 with 2.0.36 Suse kernel. It works very fine with a Realtek 8029 lan card, an ASUS PCI-SC200 scsi card with CD-R, i740 video etc. etc. (Only a bug: Ensoniq AudioPCI doesn't work at all). It's OK X with kdm too, kppp and kmail. A beatiful (?) day I downloaded from ftp.us.kernel.org the generic (non-Suse specific) linux-2.2.1.tar.gz Un-gzipped, untarred, made a conf file with 'make xconfig', compiled (gcc 2.7.2.1) and compiled modules too, when I boot again from DOS (at this moment I prefer loadlin instead of lilo) the system displays only (about): 'uncompressing linux ............ Ok now booting the kernel' and hangs like a frozen armadillo Is in the world (i.e. linux mailing list community) anyone who has an idea about?
