And the processor familly is set to "Athlon/Duron/K7", and I don't have the "Generic x86 support" set. This worked fine with 2.6.1. I'll try it with "586/K5/5x86/6x86/6x86MX" and see if that works, and enable the generic x86 option. If that doesn't work, I guess I'll start from scratch. . Here's what changed with the make oldconfig on the server (blank lines removed). diff linux-2.6.1/.config linux-2.6.2/.config 248a249 > CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y 317a319,322 > CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX_CONFIG=y > # CONFIG_SCSI_QLA21XX is not set > # CONFIG_SCSI_QLA22XX is not set > # CONFIG_SCSI_QLA23XX is not set 542a548 > # CONFIG_FORCEDETH is not set 728,745d733 < # I2C support < # CONFIG_I2C is not set < # I2C Algorithms < # I2C Hardware Bus support < # I2C Hardware Sensors Chip support < # CONFIG_I2C_SENSOR is not set 794a783,787 > # I2C support > # CONFIG_I2C is not set 835d827 < # CONFIG_VIDEO_BTCX is not set 853a846 > # CONFIG_FB_KYRO is not set 1063a1057,1058 > # CONFIG_USB_EMI62 is not set > # CONFIG_USB_EMI26 is not set 1069a1065 > # CONFIG_USB_LED is not set 1070a1067,1070 > # USB Gadget Support 1223,1227d1222 < # NeTraverse Win4Lin Support < CONFIG_MKI=y _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
