for the latest cooker kernel(-source) you would need the patches against 2.4.23-pre1
and normaly the bigest revision means better drivers, but 3 revisions in one
day(modify date)
and i think he posted to the kernel mailing list only about rev1, so i'm not
sure
try first 2.4.23-pre1-libata3.patch.bz2(latest rev) & if it has problems
2.4.23-pre1-libata1.patch.bz2 (the one mentioned on lkml)
how-to install (short) urpmi kernel-source cd /usr/src/linux wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/patchkits/2.4/2.4.23-pre1-libata3.patch.bz2 bzcat 2.4.23-pre1-libata3.patch.bz2 | patch -p1 make mrproper
make menuconfig or make xconfig and select them in the scsi section ( if you don't see your chipset look for smth like "ATA", enable it and they should apear)
make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && make install
reboot in the new kernel (2422-xmdkcustom)
longer @ http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO/index.html

Hi,
I have downloaded the file. I don't have Mandrake 9.1 installed yet so I don't believe I can run all of those commands. I'm at the installation screen. Can I press F1 and enter them from there? Are there any drivers I can download for the motherboard instead?
From,
Steven
