Upgrading and have questions
 

I'm going to be upgrading this weekend from an AMD dual-core 3800 ASUS A32 deluxe to an Intel conroe e6600 and a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (Intel P965).

I'm currently running Slackware 11 with kernel 2.6.20

I've read through a bunch of posts that say that in order for Linux in general to work on the P965 I need to be on 2.6.20 however coming from the AMD side to Intel I am unsure what kernel modules I need to compile in order to work.

Since I have a working system right now I figured I could get a updated kernel, configure what is needed on the working system then put the new PC together and all should be glorious!

Hopefully some kind soul can tell me what I need to enable in the kernel for SMP (I assume the "usual"), SATA capabilities and chipset options.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone? This has to be something simple I'm missing ...

are you running a 2.6.20 custom kernel?
 

More specifically, if you recompiled the kernel (upgraded) then i'm not sure what you should do, but if its an original install, it may work.

Yeah all I need are just what kernel options I need to turn on when I compile since this is an existing install. I'm just going from an AMD arch to Intel Core 2 Duo.

So in theory I should be able to just enable the right kernel options, compile then be good to go .. I just have no clue what options are needed coming from the AMD side of things :)

make menu config
 

Could possible use this lsmod for a list of modules to compile:

Cool I'll check that out thanks.

anytime :)

Looks like Saboyan(sp) works rather well on this chipset out of the box (from what little I've read on the forums there) ...
