Linux 2.6 is a bitch (ISDN-wise)

Damn, somehow I couldn't manage to get ISDN working with Linux 2.6.0-test9. Well, I will have to stick to 2.4, then. :-/ What is also annoying is that the swap partition must be of type 1 (on my installation it was type 0), otherwise it doesn't get added and you have a system without swap space, which is not so nice, especially when you want to recompile a kernel.

Well, in the next few days, I should concentrate more on hacking cinderella, since in less than a week, there are Linuxdays in Luxemburg. I took part in the CfP, and my paper (about my NIDS cinderella) was taken, so I'll drive to Luxemburg (with Christian Mock and some other Quintessenz guys), do a lecture and have a good time. What I still have to do is to correct a few things in the slides I used at Chaos Communication Camp, since a number of things changed since then (e.g. the rewrite in C wasn't even considered during CCCamp). I also hope to take a few good pictures in Luxemburg, to have a few more nice pictures to show here in the blog.

well, linux 2.6-test9 works fine for me, except some problems

like with agpgart (fglrx does not work), the cisco vpn-client (does not compile - grml) and VMWare (ok, there exist some patches - I should try them).

well, 2.6 works for me.
Swap partition type seems only to be a "problem" on debian. RedHat already installs with type 1.
