Not Sure which one that is Ben, I am new to some the jargon used on these boards. The night before last it actually clicked in my head afaik mean As Far As I Know, (sometimes I'm a bit slow on the uptake) I actually compiled 2.6.11.6 two days ago and that didn't work for me, and the last build I did I built aty128fb as a module, and was going to try loading it after login, but I kept running out of space on all my partitions, so I am in the course of rebuilding my system now, and I may take that advice and build one of your own old 2.4 kernels that have been so widely raved about on the 'net. Is rsync the only way to get them, or do you have a tarball file somewhere, on a dialup connection that manually times out after 6 hours, rsyncing kernel source may be out of the question. (It only gets 28.8 k speeds, damn the copper :( )
Hrm.... 2.6.11.6 should work fine. Tried using the pmac_defconfig file (arch/ppc/configs/pmac_defconfig) ? It contains all you need for most mac models. aty128fb should definitely be built-in, not a module, and you shouldn't have to add any special kernel argument, it should pick up your card automatically.
What model of machine is this exactly ?
Ben.
