It wasn't so much problems with it being KnoppMyth (after all, KnoppMyth is pretty much a scripted up Debian unstable) as it was just the major changes to modules from 2.4.x to 2.6.x. The new stuff is modprobe.conf, not modules.conf. There's a conversion script, that sorta works. Although, most of my problems where just getting the kernel to compile. I used a .config file for 2.6.x that was "from KnoppMyth", which basically compiled everything as modules, but the problem was it had some experimental/non-compilable modules selected, so the kernel compile bailed s bunch of times. Anyway, persistence paid off and eventually I got it up and running. I didn't fix the lockup issue I'm having with my new pvr-350, so I'm either blaming that on my motherboard's chipset (which I don't think is really it), or ivtv, which I think is locking up on dma stuff.. Anyway, here's some 2.4.x->2.6.x reading: http://www.desktop-linux.net/debkernel.htm (I used this) http://thomer.com/linux/migrate-to-2.6.html (I used the generate-modprobe.conf mentioned here) Fix you current problem before complicating it with a kernel upgrade. :) ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
