No, it was no problem at all. 2.2.18 was already selected, so I selected 2.4 as well.

Eh? You can install both kernels? Doesn't that mess up modutils and the like? How stable is that?
Jonathan, This may or may not be a problem. If the modules for the different kernels will work off the same parameters in /etc/modules.conf things should be harmonious. Each kernel version has its own /lib/modules/<kernel-id> directory. The only reason I did not stay with the 2.4.2-pre3 I built is because I couldn't figure out how to get the sound working in a SuSE compatable way. This is a large part of the reason I suggested the 'Jugling Knives' book. (My vision is a picture of that krazy Kameleon all bandaged up, knives in hand, getting ready to try it once again.) As for the problems Ben experienced, I can't say too much. I was already trying to fix a problem with my X restarting. So I didn't have a known good system to start with. Steve
