I compiled a kernel from the "plain" 2.4.13 sources with the ac-8 patch and it works fine. haaa... my radeon works and I can play tuxracer; great ! more seriously, thanks to all the people making the ac kernel-variants. Just one more -silly?- question: it seems -for me at least- that some of the ac patches should be integrated in the kernel, why aren't they ? (I repeat that ANY 2.4.17 variant I compiled won't even boot ! I'm not talking about kernel panic here) is my hardware so exotic ?? thanks again. PS: it worked also with a 2.4.13-ac5 :-) PPS: I don't mind to buils a few more kernel to identify which part(s) of the ac patches is(are) responsible of this non-non-booting ;-) situation but I need someone to guide me. PPPS: I'll have some time in a week; tomorrow I go skiing 8-) -- Stéphanie, Fabrice et Fiona -o) stephanie.dupuis@free.fr /\\ fabrice.eudes@free.fr _\_V
