NeoXP Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 I'm still kind of a newbie, I'm experimenting with ML, to replace XP on my major Box. I had to do a reinstall because of this experimenting. My problem is that my previous install was running on kernel-2.6.6-3mdk and I can't find this kernel with kernel-source. Kernel 2.6.6 was working perfectly on my (nForce) box (the APIC-thing was solved and so on). I'v tried the latest 2.6.7 RC but it isn't working (can't even boot into it, still working on it). If anyone of you got a mirror for kernel-2.6.6-3mdk I would be much obliged. Thx BTW I have tried to compile a kernel 2.6.6 from kernel.org but untill now it was'nt a succes. I need the precompiled one to get my box switching between ML and XP, without going into the bios to disable/enable APIC everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrenhunt Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Did you inheirit this box or install from CD's, downloaded ISO's, etc.? If you still have original media it should be there. The latest Mandrake 10 ISO I pulled had 2.6.3-4mdksecure #1 SMP which is what I'm running. Perhaps I don't fully understand your question..... Hope that helps!

liquidzoo Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 If you had 2.6.6 working on your computer, there should still be a lilo entry for it. It might be towards the bottom, but it should still be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoXP Posted June 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 f you had 2.6.6 working on your computer, there should still be a lilo entry for it. It might be towards the bottom, but it should still be there. I'm afraid not, I did a fresh reinstall without saving anything. Actually I'm working with XP because there are still two applications I've got to get working in ML. 1. A good p2p-client (this one should not be so hard) 2. I have a (windows) program to do my banking, I'm trying to get this working in vmware, but I still have not figured out how to get my modem running to send the transactions. Once I have found a solution for these 2, I'm going to do a last fresh install to switch completely to ML. Untill that time I'm messing around, and trying... Therefore I regulary mess everything leaving me nothing but a complete new fresh install. The good news is, I got kernel-2.6.7.0.rc2.1mdk to work yesterday, so untill now I'm a happy camper B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
