At home I installed Mandrake 8.1. Because I have hardware that doesnt work fine out of the box I tried to build my own kernel.
The problem is that installing the new kernel with different config overwrites modules and the kernel from the distro cant load any modules anymore. I'd suggest to add some suffix to the kernel version in the makefile to avoid this problem. It can be removed by people who know what they are doing anyway. ie the built kernel version would be something like 2.4.8-34.1mdksrc -- Michal Suchanek [EMAIL PROTECTED]
