hi everyone, I'm trying to install demudi on my woody amd k7 box, but in order to do so I have to re-roll my kernel, and it's giving my trouble. here's the situation:
the demudi kernel is patched with: Posix capability; low-latency; and acpi. I need: full support for nvidia graphics; and usb input support (no serial or ps/2 ports on my box) so, I reinstalled the 21.4.18 source, the nvidia-kernel-src and nvidia-glx-src packages (I had to install nvidia once before). Then I installed kernel-patch-demudi, which in effect installs low-latency, "capability", and acpi patches. then I copied my old config file to /usr/src/linux/.config (after linking linux to kernel-source-2.4.18, of ocurse), and ran make menuconfig. The only settings I changed had to do with acpi power management (I turned it on) and latency control (turned it on too). then I followed the instructions for nvidia support (involves building and installing two packages) then I made a new grub entry in menu.lst and rebootead. After a couple of screwups, I got the system to boot and start X (Yay!). But for some reason USB is broken. So, question: does anyone know if any of these patches has knwon incompatibilities with usb support, or if they introduce new mouse/keyboard/usb options within config? If so, does anyone know what I shou ld do? I've looked through the options, and it seems to me that everything is checked about right... but I can't be 100l% sure. Another question: can modconf or modprobe change the de1fault status of a module for a kernel that _isn't currently running_? I was wondering whether the problem might be that the necessary modules aren't loading for some reason, but I 3don't know how I would fix that. thanks as usual!!! matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
