Alan, See below for a list of problems with the linux 2.2.19pre14 patch. The errors should be apparent. I have a Dell optiplex 333mhz Intel with a 9gig SCSI card. A). The version of the linux 2.2.19pre14 on 2.2.18 is compiling and saying it is pre13. Thus the make file has the wrong version. B). After doing "make menuconfig". The textboxes displayed for the menu options "Processor family" and "Maximum Physical memory" are displayed incorrectly (half missing). If I move the keyboard cursor arrow up and down for each of the above menus, then the display is redrawn with all of the missing menu options, color and graphics. Note: I have libcurses v5.0beta1 which didn't have problems in linux 2.2.19pre5 or earlier. C). Errors during "make dep". note: I have md5sum from textutils v1.22. If my config file will help here, I can send it. md5sum: MD5 check failed for 'isac.c' md5sum: MD5 check failed for 'isdnl1.c' md5sum: MD5 check failed for 'isdnl2.c' md5sum: MD5 check failed for 'isdnl3.c' md5sum: MD5 check failed for 'tei.c' md5sum: MD5 check failed for 'callc.c' md5sum: MD5 check failed for 'l3dss1.c' md5sum: MD5 check failed for 'l3_1tr6.c' md5sum: MD5 check failed for 'elsa.c' md5sum: MD5 check failed for 'diva.c' md5sum: MD5 check failed for 'sedlbauer.c' - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
