[Cooker] kernel question
Has anybody put in a request to have the code at http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net/downloads.html put in our kernel? A friend of mine says it contains a fastvnet_cs module needed for his 3com 3CRSHPW696 wireless NIC card. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[Cooker] kernel question...
Hi all, Sorry to ask such a basic question, but I was wondering if anyone here could help me. I want to upgrade the kernel to 2.4.17.x and get the headers and initscripts and iptables to match. Is it safe to upgrade the glibc to the cooker version along with the kernel and stuff.. I have an installed 8.1 powerpack system with cooker versions of samba and postfix working fine. I want a stable reliable base for a server and it needs supermount, and it needs to be as memory efficient as possible. So I thought one of the newer kernels would be the go.. I just want to know that its safe to install the latest kernel and glibc (I understand the headers are included in that package now? ) kindest regards Frank

Re: [Cooker] kernel question
So I really need agpgart module, but it gives a resource busy error when trying to load it. I already managed to use NVidia driver with an older Mandrake. --- I'm not sure this is relevant, but perhaps you could ask the guys at Red Hat... The beta 6.9.5 works wonderfully with all newer NVidia cards from what I can tell. It picked out my GeForce2 and set X up accordingly. Honestly, I prefer Mandrake over RH anyday though... =)

Is current cooker stable kernel kernel-2.2.17-1mdk.i586.rpm expected to support AGP ? (I have a GeForce 256 with i820 chipset, and trying to use NVidia drivers, but can't load agpgarp module)

(I have a GeForce 256 with i820 chipset, and trying to use NVidia drivers, but can't load agpgarp module) I successfully used NVidia drivers with precedent Kernel (2.2.16-9mdk) build from sources, even if AGP support wasn't among the available options. I'm still using them with current kernel (2.2.17-1mkd), this time with AGP option available. I'm wondering why some options, such as PCMCIA, are still not available for custom kernel compilation from source ? -- Guillaume Rousse Iremia - Université de la Réunion Plus petites unités de mesure - de longueur : le millimètre - de volume : le millilitre - d'intelligence : le militaire
Re: [Cooker] kernel question
AFAIK NVIDIA has there own APG stuff in their kernel module. It's one of the resonse they can't give out the source - they licensed thier APG tech from someone else.

Same thing. insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17-2mdk/misc/agpgart.o: device or resource busy (This dependency is for NVidia drivers.) NB : when upgrading kernel (rpm -Fvh kernel*), I got an invalid lilo.conf. I manually checked it, found remainings of 2.2.17-1 kernels (RPMS were in double with -2mdk), dead link to former frame buffer kernel. I could not boot (it tried to find a non existant fb kernel, could not find modules.dep, ... ): - used a floppy; - cleaned up (no fb, uninstalled Aurora) - recleaned /boot, lilo.conf
Re: [Cooker] kernel question
The NVIDIA FAQ says this: "Currently internally supported chipsets include: Intel 440LX, 440BX, 440GX, 815, 820, and 840. AMD Irongate, VIA Apollo Pro133, KX133 and KT133. More chipsets may be supported through the use of AGPGART." So internally the driver provided by NVIDIA does not need the agpgart driver for AGP. If your getting "unresolved symbol" errors from the module it hasn't been built correctly. Try a newer version of the kernel from Mandrake, like 2.2.17-2mdk. Or try getting the driver source and building it yourself. (to confirm it's indeed not a HW problem). :-) On Tue, 12 Sep 2000, pgeorges wrote: Bryan Whitehead a écrit : AFAIK NVIDIA has there own APG stuff in their kernel module.

[Cooker] Kernel Question
I noticed that there seems to be support for the HPT366 UDMA/66 chip that's on Abit's MB in one of the kernels on the 7.0, but I didn't see the patch in the kernel sources. (makes it a little tough to rebuild your kernel if your only drive lives on the controller..)
