Hmpf. I upgraded, finally, to 9.0 to get past the growing problems I was having upgrading other aspects of 8.2 - dependency hell. It just became easier to upgrade. Thing is, though I am now running 9.0, I am still using the 8.2 kernel because the 2.4.19 kernel (9.0) just doesn't work on my system. It took some tweaking just to get the install CD to bootup on my system (never had THAT problem before). With 2.4.19 I cannot use my WUSB11 v2.6 wlan device. Rebuilding and installing the atmel driver just doesn't work but it works perfectly with 2.4.18. Then, you mentioned XFS. I am 100% XFS and it has worked fine until 2.4.19. In hopes of getting my WUSB11 to work, I tried building my own 2.4.19 kernel (I ALWAYS end up building my own kernel) but even using the default Mandrake 9.0 config file for the kernel, the newly built kernel will NOT bootup - lots of errors wrt XFS. Then a kernel panic. The stock 2.4.19 kernel works OK (except for the WUSB11 device). Anyway, what is up with XFS? Why wouldn't it be supported? It is a rather mature filesystem, afterall. What kernel is used in the 9.1 beta? Is it 2.4.20? I am considering trying that kernel to get around my WUSB11 problems and the XFS problems. Surely it supports XFS? praedor - -- Conservatives of all times are adventitious liars. - - Friedrich Nietzsche. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+IMd21i/6R1B/Yh0RAuyaAJ4zyA+3UQ3ZtGZHrU+poJid0gBmYACdE/qR ezy42LTKLbhXC80RSXD0B6w= =T/xh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
