NTFS partition mounting in fstab using the linux ntfs module 2. NVidia driver problems Like your machine mine hung while trying to configure kernel parameters. You'll need to comment out the NTFS partition in /etc/fstab until you download and install the latest linux-ntfs module from linux-ntfs.sf.net. If you have an NVidia card, you'll need to do the following: 1. Build the driver 2. /sbin/modprobe nvidia (this creates some device files) 3. Copy the device files to the new udev system cp -a /dev/nvidia* /etc/udev/devices chown root.root /etc/udev/devices/nvidia* 4. Mangle your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file appropriately (or restore) Now I just need to fix mod_perl for Apache. /mde/ just my two cents . . . .
