Suddently I hear the fan meaning the machine is dead Trying to compile without CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS set do not work because drivers/video/aty/radeon_monitor.c unconditionnaly uses "vesa_modes" variable that depends on CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS. Defining vesa_modes unconditionnaly as it was previously does not help : machine freeze. Trying the pci=routeirq (as per 2.6.8-rc3-mm2) make the machine to freeze immediately without even displaying something. Due to compilation errors in 2.6.8-rc3-mm2, I did'nt tried it. 2.6.8-rc3-mm1 was the best kernel even on this machine. -- __ / ` Eric Valette /-- __ o _. 6 rue Paul Le Flem (___, / (_(_(__ 35740 Pace Tel: +33 (0)2 99 85 26 76 Fax: +33 (0)2 99 85 26 76 E-mail: eric.valette@free.fr
