Which is probably true. However, I've compiled my own kernel now (w/o SCSI, md, raid, w/ ipx, ncpfs, agpgart, i810 support) and it works for me. > > Is it possible to pass a kernel option or something so > > that md does not load with the stock kernel 2.2.19? >=20 > Possibly, but it isn't going to fix your i810.

Good advice, but too late.=20 Xfree 3.3.x is theoretically possible using the "i810gtt" kernel AGP timimg patch from Intel (i810gtt-0.1-6.src.rpm) in conjunction with Intel's "XFcom_810" server. Did not do that to myself though but installed XFree86 4.1 for potato... :) Thanks! -Andre --sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE836kEWkhBtALlJZ0RAhP8AJ0VMdQ0UZzYvWENfbe3osaJaS/I6wCfRM8x mBItrBu708FzvKzjT8Oqq6Q= =olDl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu-- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
