Hi,
yes it is Kernel 2.2.19pre9. The modules supplied by the Mainboard are
named rh61-u100.pat
and rh62-u100.pat and i can't see for which kernel they were made. Insmod
doesn't accept these files.
By the way - I installed Suse 7.1 and it worked without any problem. Where
do they hide their drivers
and can I use them with debian?
Thanks Joerg
