Aha. Got a bit confused there for a bit, as I've got the 2.4.20 kernel
patched to 2.4.21, couldn't see the option in "make menuconfig", then
realised you're talking about the .22 not the .21 kernel! Doh.
Compiling the 2.4.22 kernel at the moment, although can't reboot the
computer as am at work and SSH'ing into my PC - can't recompile network
card drivers without network card support ;) But will sort it out
tonight. Hopefully that'll work now.

Aha. But with the 2.6.0 kernel you don't have to do "make dep" - if I
want modversions.h should I do a "make dep" or best get a patch for the
nVidia drivers? Might stick with the 2.4.22 kernel as it does have
support for the NForce2 chipset.

Which part exactly do you need to see? If the whole lot, what's the
best way to get it over?
Thanks very much for your help so far :)
