On the other hand, cwlinux's kernel has some great patches (like preemptive kernel) and a 2.4.20 version, but no "linuxbios support".
kernel-source-linuxbios-2.4.20-CWLINUX_1.i386.rpm should contain sis
patch
already.
Yes I have that exact file; I've compared the directory entries for the sis video framebuffer and I saw it was patched; however, in linux-2.4.19-linuxbios there is a specific menu' entry for linuxbios support:
Sound ---> USB support ---> Bluetooth support ---> Kernel hacking ---> LinuxBIOS ---> --- Load an Alternate Configuration File Save Configuration to an Alternate File
while in 2.4.20-cwlinux I can't find it. I was wondering if it was enabled by default. That menu, in 2.4.19-linuxbios contains:
<*> LinuxBIOS Support (NEW) Linuxbios Options --->
and Linuxbios options is:
[*] Linuxbios Power Management support? (NEW) [*] S SIS 503 support? (NEW) [ ] P PIIX4E support? (NEW)
bye! thank you as
