One of the things you might try is to look at the "change log" for these
respective kernels, I take it they are the Mantel kernels. Also compare
these to the ones at kernel.org to see what the vanilla kernels have.
You could email Mantel about this as well, you'ld be surprised, I have done
this with a couple of the developers for Linus' team and they have replied.
This might get you some direction about what to do and it may also give them
a heads up to issue they may or may not have been aware of.
Finally you could write down how every thing in fstab is layed out as far was
what device has what partitions, e.g. /dev/hdb10 = / (root) and /dev/hdbx ,
or hdy etc.. = /home or /usr/ and so forth. This way if you find that your
completely stumped and want to start from scratch you can re-install with out
formatting or just format the root drive, providing the you lay out won't
hose your user account directory and/or other directories like /usr or what
ever has programs or data you don't want to lose. This would be a last
resort. I have had to do this on a few occasions and It's not really good
insofar as Linux is designed to be recoverable - but doing so may take a
certain amount of skill - the more I use and learn the less this option is
considered because I have figure out how to fix things. Or, you could try to
reinstall the old kernel or do an "update where in you will probably need to
update some core packages (or it won't think your actually updating) and then
repatch/patch update whatever needs to be brought up to current.
You should copy the messages from files such as ".xsession-errors",
"/var/log/kdm.log", " /var/log/XFree86.log" "/var/log/warn" or anything else
that you find pertinent in the "/var/log" directory and repost. This way I
or others on the list can get a better idea about whats going.
It would look something like this:
(II) Loading sub module "xaa"
(II) LoadModule: "xaa"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libxaa.a
(II) Module xaa: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
compiled for 4.2.0, module version = 1.0.0
ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.5
(II) Loading sub module "ramdac"
(II) LoadModule: "ramdac"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libramdac.a
(II) Module ramdac: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
compiled for 4.2.0, module version = 0.1.0
ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.5
(II) do I need RAC? No, I don't.

This is what most of the real propeller heads here need to get a real idea
about whats happening (bless them all). They really can't help you if they
don't know whats going on. They rely on these things to service and tweak
their own systems so up 'till now you post have probably been a little to
vague for them to help. These logs are from the /var/log directory and tell
about whats happening with both your Xserver and the general manner in which
devices are being utilized or failing. You will notice some like the (EE) or
(WW) for Error or Warn revolving aroung the nvidia drivers and the external
USB device that's having problems will mostly like be fairly obvious in the
file output, it might looks similar to this:
"Jan 17 05:28:44 linux kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:40 (hdd), sector
64
Jan 17 05:28:44 linux kernel: ide-scsi: hdd: unsupported command in request ."
You could cut/paste these outputs into a post of if you have a good Idea you
can cut it down and say something like "the nvidia drivers fail to load in X
with this message" and just post the couple of lines of output (rather then a
long list of repeating or redundant lines)
Take a look at the error output and the changelogs for the kernel and see what
you can find and then repost.
Cheers and HTH, Curtis.

The reasons behind the DMCA, TCPA, and Palladium that are presented to the
public are only secondary to their real purpose. That is to lock in markets,
stiffle competition and pidgeon hole consumers from any viable alternatives
that the sponsers see as competitive and a threat to their market shares and
business models.
