Yeah I downloaded and am recompiling the 2.6.11 kernel, only thing I altered
was turning off that rivafb. If this works I will be quite happy-- I will
have learned to download, compile, install a new kernel! Then I can set up
a kernel to take advantage of my 64bit AMD cpu, etc. This will take me to
a new level of linux computing!
