Here is their answer to that question... Unfortunately ,as far as compiling config options are concerned, we are not able to help you and you should refer to your distribution support or documentation.

Red Hat EL 4 update 2 (kernel 2.6.9-22) & update 3 (kernel 2.6.9-34) SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9.0 (kernel 2.6.5-7.257) Can I take a an FC? and compile a EL4 kernel and expect it to run? or am I asking from problems? Otherwise I am going to have to go to a previous version of the module and use SUSE Pro 9.2, even that has issues. FAiling that, I will have to go back to a redhat kernel version 2.2 era and just use that. Thanks for the info, at least I know what the issue is now. -- 'ooroo stinga...(:)-) --------------------------------------------------- Email: stinga@xxxxxxxxxxxxx o You need only two tools. o ///// A hammer and duct tape.
