Hi all Suse 7.2 pro after compiling and installing kernel 2.4.17 (from www.kernel.org) everything seems mostly fine but: - console font in consoles 2 to 5 are wrong, cannot get line symbols so things like Yast & make menuconfig look a bit strange. They can be set to default in yast to, say, lat9w-16.psfu so things look OK, Suseconfig runs, but at next boot up the settings have gone. For console 1 (boot up console) everything is fine, settings are recalled between boot ups. What configuration file should I be looking in? A fix - Sound: for info sound & sound module (ALSA) loading just would not work with 2.4.17 until I got & compiled Alsa drivers 0.5.12a (note the 'a') now everything runs great. 0.5.12 stopped working 2 or 3 kernels ago I believe. Useful tip I hope - I can't resist dabbling, so I have an experimental Linux install on a spare hard disk. I've fitted two hard disk pullout bays / carriers on my pc. That way I try new and maybe dangerous configs & software on the old drive, and only useful and safe stuff then gets put on my "clean" install. Charles

I can't compile the nvidia drivers with it, I get an error referring to kmap_pagetable. I asked mantel about this and it looks like theres a problem which my .config file is causing. There was some major work done with something related to it, with right .config it should work ... hmm waiting for an update to 2.4.17.Suse before trying again dids
