Congratulations!
I have a couple of things to toss out.
1. cdrecord dosn't work. It gives me an error saying "can't allocate memory, cannot send command via ioctl". However my old version of cdrecord, based on libc5 does work. Can anyone verify it on their recorder, just put a blank in and do a dummy write.
I have not used this program, sorry.
2. Is there a way to get rid of the "You have mail" message that root gets. The mail message says it should not be deleted, and will be recreated as part of the boot process. This wasn't in the old version.
This is new since Pine 4.xx. There is an article in our SDB about this: <A HREF="http://www.suse.de/sdb/en/html/grimmer_pine.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.de/sdb/en/html/grimmer_pine.html</A">http://www.suse.de/sdb/en/html/grimmer_pine.html</A</A>>
3. Does anyone have awe32 sound working under the 2.2.1 kernel? If so, what are the alias and options you put in conf.modules?
Hmm, I have a SB16 PnP running with 2.2.1: This is what I have in /etc/conf.modules: alias char-major-14 sb post-install sb /sbin/modprobe "-k" "adlib_card" options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=3 mpu_io=0x330 options adlib_card io=0x388
4. Why dosn't the 2.2.2 kernel compile error free?

Try enabling socket filtering and compiling. :-) Oh, and with that disabled, the kernel compiles and runs but we got massive failures during boot, so I immediately reverted. ... still on 2.2.1 ... who having now bought SuSE 6.0 will now be able to gripe more righteously. :-) -- Rachel Greenham Epinet Communications plc - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

I doubt this statement (cf. below)

Neither do I, but I know about a general problem with glibc2.0.6.pre7 and linux-2.2.X, which probably affects all tools using scsi generic devices, such as cdutils, xcdroast and probably cdwrite, tool. The libc-library version SuSE ships is incompatible to 2.2.X kernels wrt. scsi-generic devices support: The library's header file /usr/include/scsi/sg.h is incompatible to its counterpart inside of the kernel (/usr/src/linux/include/scsi/sg.h, incompatible data types). This results into the kernel (e.g. drivers) and the library using different data structures when accessing scsi-generic devices (binary incompatibility). A brute-force work-around is to copy the kernel's sg.h to /usr/include/scsi/sg.h and to recompile all tools which access scsi-generic devices. With some luck, some of these tools will work again. A proper solution is to rebuild glibc from source and to override glibc2's sg.h inside of glibc2's sources with the kernel's sg.h before compiling glibc2. Then recompile all tools which access scsi-generic devices. However, there are also some reports on linux-kernel on a potential bug inside of the kernel related to this subject, but I am not knowledgeable enough to judge on this.
