YOU new 2.4.21-default kills sound, wireless on my Tosh Sat 1135
Hi, all -- I ran an Online Update and this time got a new 2.4.21-155-default kernel and have just rebooted for the first time since the install. Imagine my surprise and dismay when my eth1 (eth-pcmcia-1) and sound did not work! I had been running the stock 2.4.19-4GB that came with my SuSE 8.1 Pro and it all worked out of the box (well, not CardBus SCSI or PCMCIA CF but I was going to get to those). At this point I imagine I have three options... 1 is to go back to my media and reinstall the stock kernel, but that leaves whatever security problems have been fixed and I still don't have SCSI or CF. 2 is to do what it takes to make this kernel work (or perhaps pull down a 2.4.21 which will), and I hope that that won't take much time. 3 is to just get 2.6pre at whatever level it is now and spend the time to compile all of the stuff, which will fix my reiser+lilo problems as well as get me SCSI and CF but which will cost me time. What would you all recommend, noting particularly that my time is very limited?

I just pulled via yast the 2.4.20-151 and am getting errors compiling the sound modules. I'm running SuSE 8.1 on an IBM IntelliStation E Pro. I haven't looked at the nvidia drives yet. And now rpm -q k_deflt reports the package there twice. How do I remove just one of them? -- Ottawa, Canada Collector of vintage computers http://www.ncf.ca/~ba600
