I'm trying to build the 2.6.18 kernel for a Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHZ in a Asus P5W DH Deluxe Motherboard which has a 975 chip set. It does work when booting from a 2.6.15-27 kernel installed from Ubuntu 2.06 LTS. When failing I get three messages on the screen: PCI: BIOS Bug: MCFG area at f0000000 is not E820-reserved PCI: Not using MMCONFIG Intel-rng: FWH not detected The first two appear to be from lines 215 & 217 of mmconfig.c (x86_64) and the other is from line 313 of intel-rng.c. Attached is my config file, I've tried both Generic-X86-64 and Intel EM64T for the Processor family. Thanks, Wink Saville
