updating to 2.6.12 has solved a few problems but has brought on the problem of kernel oop's when i try to mount a cdrom in 2.6.8-11-amd-k8 (and generic) cdrom works just fine. obviously this is very annoying before i complain that the nvidia drivers are unstable and only show half my video memory =\ Dean -- WWW: http://dean.bong.com.au LAN: http://www.bong.com.au EMAIL: dean@bong.com.au or djzort@bong.com.au ICQ: 16867613
