I dunno what you were doing wrong, but compiling and installing new and test kernels is how I got into slackware in the first place. I used to be an avid RedHat user, but as curiousity got the best of me, and I wanted to try new things such as compiling new kernels and whatnot, invariably I would break lots of things under DeadRat. Slackware has never given me trouble in this department, save for occasionaly not getting the correct modules for my sound card. And using test kernels from the early 2.5.x days that simply hosed everything. But I doubt that's Slackware's fault. At the risk of sounding condescending, you may want to examine your build method to verify you are building and installing the correct modules. > Tom Veldhouse -- -Kevin Hinze rudie at rudie.net | rudie at sihope.com hinz0047 at tc.umn.edu | http://rudie.net Democracy: two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for lunch Liberty: a well armed sheep expressing his rights. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
