Hi I cannot download Kernel 2.6 as it is too big for my two hour cut off on my isp.(no resume). I have downloaded Kernel 2.6 RPM from Suse on a spare machine and everything seemed to work O.K. Yast autodetected my hardware and reconfigured it, every thing worked except the sound, although it reconised the soundcards I tried it was unable to configure them, it suggested the IRQ may be wrong. This is my first attempt to install a new kernel System Suse 9.0 pro 1.6 Ghz AMD Regards Nick Daniels
