Hi Shawn,

This *could* just be a precaution against inconvenient "black screens" caused
by loading an incorrect or wrongly configured module. It could /also/ be that
dropping to runlevel 3 *after* incorrectly initializing the card may
complicate the installation. Since the default runlevel becomes irrelevant
after the module has been correctly configured and installed, I think the
precaution is reasonable.


The installer had to custom compile it for me.
and
When compiling the 7174 I didn't have any problems compiling it once
I read the help files :)

Did you see anything unusual at all during the build? Any warnings or error
messages that you haven't seen during previous (and successful)
installations? It isn't like there's an md5sum you can check to confirm the
module is valid... do you know of any tests to verify the integrity of the
module short of just loading and trying it out?


I had given up at this point :(

I don't blame you one bit! :-) Even with the excellent 'how-to' and 'readme'
and many online resources the process still leaves one feeling like a
detective in a board game picking up clues here and there to solve a story.
Hopefully, I haven't overlooked anything in my last 'Q&A' style post... I
can't test if it works without a board, so you get to be the guinea pig!


I'm inclined to reload SuSE and follow the documentation throughly to see
if it will work. I will do that today and let you know what my results are.

Good luck!

Carl
