Linux 2.6.10 works!
I got my new kernel working. I now have a good .config file that has been fixed so that USB works, LAN works, and I can actually see output on my monitor in the terminal. All I need to do now is strip the kernel down as far as possible to make a faster system that is customized for my liking. I'll take out things that I won't be needing anytime soon like Firewire support etc. I'll keep a backup bulky kernel to boot into if I ever end up needing support for something in an emergency though.
The best news, my iRiver works! At the moment all I have on it is Queen, Emerson, Lake, & Palmer, Bob Segar, Eric Clapton, and The Strokes. As I rip more CDs and think of more artists I'll be putting more on. The sound quality is amazing. I like the WOW feature that emulates surround sound in headphones. Also the headphones that we bought from iriver (not the ones included with it) sound perfect. The only thing bad about them is that when you walk you hear a whistling because they arn't the big bulky kind with sides. Although that is also a good thing because they arn't the big bulky kind that are uncomfortable.
My favorite radio station sounds crystal clear on my iRiver. I can't figure out why they didn't add AM support also though. I'd like to be able to listen to 640AM weekends from 12:00 - 15:00, I'm curious because I've never remembered to tune in and haven't heard Laporte talk in almost a year now.

Consider yourself lucky. New Yorker techies have to listen to the podcast only.
By the way, congrats about the new kernel. I wish I could give you my opinion of it too, but I can't since I've completely moved to FreeBSD.

My Linux 2.6.10 works too ;)
Also it seems to be faster then 2.6.9
I guess thats cause its compiled perfectly for my system.
If only i could get java and opengl to work!
