new than 2.4 kernels


I would like to know what the newest kernel is in Linux. I have a new box with a SiS 740 chip. It appears that the 2.4 kennel causes problems with pci loading. I have Xandros loaded right now and it will not load my nic card. I've read that 2.5 kernel will work just fine but it is unstable at this time. I hate to spend money on something that isn't going to work.
Thanks Scott

"I hate to spend money on something that isn't going to work." Why are you spending money? GNU/Linux is free...
