Over the weekend, I decided to try installing the 2.6.5-1.315 kernel (from http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.6/) on my laptop, which is currently running a fully-updated FC1. There were the normal 2.6 teething problems -- USB modules, /dev/input/mice, that sort of thing -- but things seem to be much better than the last time I tried a 2.6 kernel (e.g., no more kernel panics from my external USB sound card). One continuing annoyance is that kudzu persists in detecting my Ethernet card (RealTek somethingorother; driver is 8139too) as a new one, and configuring it as "eth2" (eth0 is the real configuration of my card; eth1 is my wireless PCMCIA card). I found a thread from February that mentioned a similar issue, but I didn't see any resolution. Should I just disable kudzu and ignore the problem for now? Here's the root of the previous thread: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-February/msg02083.html MEF -- __ Mary Ellen Foster __ http://www.iccs.informatics.ed.ac.uk/~mef/ __ So if someone says: "Let's see The Cat in the Hat"-- Just turn it down flat. I wish I'd done that. Peter Bradshaw, Guardian film review, 2 April 2004
