    I downloaded the source, copied the 9.0 kernel source .config across,
    did a make xconfig - suggest going through it all as keyboard, mouse
    and VT(missed this one somehow) support have to be selected separately.
    make clean && make bzImage && make modules && make_modules_install,
    cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/2.6.0-test9;cp System.map
    /boot/System.map-2.6.0-test9
    cp .config /boot/config-2.6.0-test9
    vi /boot/grub/menu.lst

    cd /boot; mkinitrd -k 2.6.0-test9 -i initrd2.6.0-test9 -d /dev/hda2 -s
    1024x768
    grub-install /dev/hda

    I also changed /etc/X11/XF86Config "nvidia" to "nv", will have to check
    sometime to see if I can successfully modify 4496 for use with 2.6.

    My network didn't start, so "/etc/init.d/network start" was necessary
    after "modprobe 8139too". Alsa modules did not load ... probably need to
    check /etc/modprobe.conf to see what's there, but manually installed stuff.

    Just a few rough edges to sort out, but it looks promising. Most things
    seem to be there and working and I've also answered my own questions
    regarding modutils and modprobe.conf, looks like SuSE are very close to
    2.6 with the 9.0 distro. Oh, I haven't got kmix to load, with alsamixer
    I can do settings, but no audio -- /dev/dsp, no such device.
