[WBEL-users] Custom kernel issues (X-server crashes)

[Samuel Plachel]

I switched to WBEL from Fedora Core 2 only a week or so ago - and I have
to say, I really, really like it; the only problem I have is that I
cannot get a custom kernel to work properly. I got the sources via YUM
but had to use a vanilla kernel instead because I need software suspend
(and those patches cannot be aplied to patched sources as the original
WBEL ones). So I copied the .config of the original sources.

I experienced various problems then because I never compiled a 2.4
kernel before (I did SOME 2.6 on FC2 though); now I got everything fixed
except for a very strange thing: X doesn't start any more - the only
(and I really looked close ;)) message I get is:

XIO:	fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0
	after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

There is NO warning or error in /var/log/XFree.0.log however so I'm
really stuck here. My video card is a Intel I815 which seems to use i810
driver on my /working/ kernel according to lsmod.

Help, suggestions or whatever would be appreciated a lot!

Kind regards.
