Ok, a few questions:
1. Did the 2.2.20 kernel work with your Athlon XP? Or, put in
different words, is an Athlon XP backwards-compatible with a
"regular" Athlon so that an older 2.2.x kernel can be used as well? (I'm
asking because to me it seems not obvious why you switched to 2.4.17.)
2. Were you able to use the new features of the Athlon XP?
3. What Debian distro are you using (Woody or Potato)?
4. Where did you get kernel-source-2.4.17 & kernel-headers-2.4.17-k7 from?
Thanks for the info!
Greetings,
Holger
