Going from 2.4.18-14 to 2.4.18-17 broke the nVidia drivers on my box. I'm visiting my folks with the laptop so haven't had change to upgrade the box with the nVidia card to 2.4.18-18 yet. I've not even got around to reading the release notes for the kernel update yet. I would expect it to break the nVidia drivers, since the modules are in /lib/modules/kernelversion/. I personally have the tar files on my box to recompile with each new kernel that I install- so have not looked at specific versions from nVidia. -- NAME : Adam Allen.
