I've just installed Red Hat 7.2 (kernel 2.4.7-10) in my PC (motherboard MSI
K7N2 Delta Series).

Sound Card and Ethernet are on-board NVIDIA chipsets.

I'm trying to get to work the sound and network onboard, and to do so I used
the installation program NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0283-pkg1.run.

Unfortunately, during the installation, it's said that no precompiled kernel
interface was found to match my kernel. I installed the kernel source and
even after this I receive the message below:

I have tried updating BIOS and shutting off PnP. Neither works.

Any ideas?
