I'll take it...although I did specify the "append= " devfs=nomount" " option in lilo.conf. I tried turning it on and off for the mandrake kernel. I have it off for the kernel.org kernel - haven't tried turning it on. In any case, the basic kernel starts fine.
I'd like to try the patch, however, on the Mandrake kernel. thanks, praedor On Sunday 27 January 2002 01:39 pm, Michael Leone wrote: > On Sun, 2002-01-27 at 15:37, Praedor Tempus wrote: > > I am running Mandrake 8.1 with updates on an IBM Thinkpad 1412. > > > > I downloaded and built the source rpm for the Mandrake > > kernel-2.4.17-10mdk.
