Re: 2.4.17

hi,

> 2.4.17 (Thanks Roman) won't boot for me, how about you ?


havent tried it, but thanks for the heads-up!

and its reminds me of something i was supposed to post
here as soon as i came back from the christmas break.


recall that my machine wouldnt boot with the newest
home compiled kernel....it would freeze just at the IDE
part?  I was advised to try the  CVS compiles that are
on the APUS site (unlinked to).  

2.4.13 2001-10-30 works. the next one, 2.4.15 doesnt.

something was done between those two kernels which stops
it working (thats why my 2.4.15 CVS local copy makes kernels
that dont work)
 

if this info can lead anyone to the quick answer, it'd be most
appreciated (recently all my free time has been sucked into a void :-()
