Having failed to make the above kernel recognize my ISDN connection, I wanted to see how things would look from the perspective of Yast2. Apart from the password prompt nothing happened. Does anybody know why?
It doesn't suprise me. I attempted several installs of 2.4.0. The first, using -6.tgz was successful but had too much stuff that I didn't need modularized. The next several attempts at removing the unnecessary modules resulted in kernels that would uncompress but then hang. I tried the -18.tgz with full modules and it compiled and loaded without error. I thought I was in 2.4.0 permanently. The next morning I fired KMail and it woldn't connect to the net. ifconfig said the NIC was running without errors. Then I noticed that every file I opened wouldn't close and was left empty. I decided that 2.40 needed to cook a while like before it was ready.
