Hi everyone. Well, after trying several other distributions for quite while, I was impressed by the reviews to give Suse 6.4 a try. The problem is I am having some problems which may be a function of what I am trying to do and may be a function of Suse. I downloaded 2.3.99-pre8 and tried to make xconfig. It failed saying it couldn't handle the tri-conflicts between several of what appeared to be tcl/tk paramereters. I have checked and seem to have all of the tcl/tk stuff installed. Does this just not work in that development kernel release or is it me? After doing the compile and rebooting I get a stack dump almost immediately after the kernel loads. Tried compiling the same kernel at home on my desktop and had the same thing happen. Is this likely to be a piece of unstable kernel code that I keep selecting? I am trying ot recompile because I was told that the stock kernel doesn't support the Maestro ESS1978 sound chip in my Compaq M700. Any help appreciated. I am determined. This time I will conquer Suse!
