Hi, I am using an IBM Thinkpad 770 (Pentium II 266 + Trident Video Accelerator 3D Cyber 9397 IBM MPEG-2 (couldn't find precision, I can't make this one work by the way) video capture IBM MPEG-2 decoder, same as above ACP Modem doesn't work either (winmodem ?) ) I tried to recompile the latest stable version 2.4.16 on my Mandrake Linux 8.1 (kernel 2.4.8-16MDK). I setup all the information using the Xmenu, followed all instructions and rebooted. The kernel seems to load then the machine simply reboots. So I tried to recompile the kernel using Mandrake config file (/boot/config-2.4.8-16mdk). Again, everything went smoothly, apart that it took longer, more modules I suppose. Again I reboot and again after kernel load (small dotted line on top screen) then laptop reboots. Is this a bug ? Is this related to the laptop hardware, mandrake incompatibilty, how can I check what's wrong. Thanks for the good job, keep going and thanks in advance for the answers.
