The latest kernel for quicksilver (Re: Install problems (new 2.2 CD)

Sun Mar 31 14:10:01 2002

Hi,

NOOOO, it does not work for a quick silver with 1 GB RAM and geforce2mx.
All kernels of current 2.4.19-preX do not work for the machine.
All, at least I have tried, hang just after mounting / with readonly
at startup.
Anybody gets them work on the machine?

2.4.18-preX kernels without rivafb work on the machine.
Then, my suggestion is to use the kernel on the 2.1 CDROM.

Cheers,
kaz
