Did anyone install the latest available official 2.4.16 kernel? This 1 one is located in the certified directory. However, the kernel minor version is 36 (2.4.16-36), which was not recommended last time it was available (a month ago or so). Anyone experience with the kernel, is it okay to upgrade? -- Richard Bos For those without home the journey is endless

I upgraded to it yesterday I believe. It has ran flawlessly for me, handled everything I have done, and seemed a bit faster than 2.4.16-22. I would recommend it, but YMMV. I have tried a couple 2.4.18 kernels from mantel but they have both had problems with me and I had to back down to 2.4.16. This latest 2.4.16 looks really good to me. -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871

I've been using it about a week now. Fixed some dma problems I was having. Haven't had any problems and I didn't have to rebuild any drivers. JHS

I think it is the same one. Vmware doesn't start with it. When I installed the "previous" 2.4.16-36 it caused the same error when starting vmware service. "depmod -a" gives me an error message related with vmnet module. It doesn't also compile after setting up kernel source and running "vmware-config.pl".

If I'm not mistaken, this would be a problem if you have built your own vmnet modules. The standard modules shipped with the kernel should work. I upgraded from 2.4.10GB to 2.4.16-36 and had no problems with vmware. As I said before, I didn't have to recompile anything. My vmware, nvidia, and alsa drivers all worked as is. JHS
