Before 7.3, I've often upgraded kernels using vanilla ones from kernel.org and recompiling. I've just done so with 2.4.19 under 7.3, and sure enough, there were two problems: 1. no sound. This was solved by recompiling alsa for the new kernel. 2. no sr0 sr1, which I thought was something to do with ide-scsi. And sure enough, modprobe ide-scsi solves the problem. My question is, why is this ide-scsi module not automatically loaded on boot, while it is with SuSE-2.4.10-4gb, considering that the /etc/modules.conf is the same for both kernels? On another note, I noticed there was a modutils-2.4.19, which I also tried to install. Compile fails with this error:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.19/modutils-2.4.19/genksyms' expect 6 shift/reduce conflicts and 5 reduce/reduce conflicts. bison -o parse.c -dtv parse.y make[1]: bison: Command not found make[1]: *** [parse.c] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.19/modutils-2.4.19/genksyms' make: *** [all] Error 2
what can be done about it? Is there a kind guru somewhere on SuSE-linux-e who could devote 180 seconds to this? I'd be very thankful. FX -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux nibz.org

Just a guess: you have forgotten to update the initial ramdisk. Edit as appropiate and run "/sbin/mk_initrd". -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
