Hi, I was planning to re-install my machine with MDK 10. However, i've got the same issue as you do, and thus don't plan to move yet. (Actually running a stable 9.1, on a asus A7N8x deluxe mb, 1Gb ram, two ethernets active, a wacom usb tablet) I hope i can fully get my machine working once there's a nvidia2 solution. So if someone can ... TIA,

Hi, I think I've seriously meesed things up.... Got a A7N8X mobo, with a AMD Barton 2500XP, 1Gb of ram. I saw that the mdk 9.1 stanard kernel only detected 896Mb. Researching showed me two possible options: boot enterprise kernel, or recompile kernel with the correct mem option (4Gb). Ran the enterprise kernel, but this one only starts in text mode (?), and didn't recognize my second ethernet card (both onboard) As I had some experience with recompiling kernels (Suse 8.0), I though let's go!. I've read the readme in /usr/src/linux, done the whole list of make's. Copied the bzImage to /boot. But think I screwed it up here. The actual vmlinuz is no longer a link, but the copy of bzImage. Lilo & boot. System gives me a series of 'busybox' msg's. And tells me to add something to 'init=' at the boot. Then I thought, but what about the *.map file? Copied that one also. Same stuff: no boot. Q: how to I correctly recompile the kernel, modules, etc? And how to I re-install all this? TIA, isnogood (yeah!)
