Its not for newbie for sure....I tried to keep the kernel itself small by using modules, but my Ethernet card did not work. The module ends up in this place /lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/net/tulip.
The same happened with sound (emu10k1). The only way I got around this was by building it into the kernel, however it looks as though joystick support has gone out of the window, at least for now...Ethernet card worked only when built in too.
The easiest part was actually the Nvidia graphics card, all I had to do was re-make the driver from source.
Overall its probably best to wait for SuSE 7.1, unless you want to spend the time and take the risks. Although everything should have some sort of workaround.
The new modutils is a *required* upgrade, otherwise you experience problems like you're having. You can get hold of the latest modutils from: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/modutils/v2.4/ There are other required upgrades if your last kernel was 2.2.x, for example you need a new pppd, etc. Bye, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
