Both go through the boot up fine but 2.6.xx ends with just a blank screen and no keyboard action. 2.4.xx loads up and runs but apps like OO.org just kind of hang with transparent screens. I continue to explore. But for now this looks like a PITA. Anyone getting better results? So, I solved the problem by reinstalling 10.0 with only the 2.6.2 kernel and then went in and edited X11 to take out the driver nvidia and replace with nv. So the Nvidia driver that comes with 10.0 is not compatible with the 2.6 kernel. I am leary of going and getting the one on the NVIDIA site cause of the boot up problems this release is having on my comp. Anyhoo, the bugger runs. I hope some of this gets cleared up soon. -- Dennis M. linux user #180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

No it is. Zeb discovered that that a depmod needs to be run to get the nvidia module to load. See bug 8647 http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8647 'depmod -a' should solve the problem also. -- /g Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Thanks Greg, I installed the drivers from the 3rd CD and that fixed it. I then had problems with no mouse thru the zonet kvm switch so I put the USB logitech optical mouse in the usb port and that fixed the mouse problem. I must have been having a irq conflict. Any way thanks for the bug point. Now I can wring this puppy out and see what I can break on my own. : ) -- Dennis M. linux user #180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
