Is the kernel used for 4.x the same as the one used for 2.x?
Specifically, does the nvidia driver that works for DSL 2.x now work for the current DSL?

^thehatsrule^: Yes.
It should, as afaik the kernel was rolled back for things like that.

Sorry, but it don't.
I get a message: Can't load nvidia
This is using nvidia2.dsl, which was built for DSL 2 (kernel 2.4.31)
Apparently that 2.4.31 is not the same 2.4.31 that is in the current DSL

ndiwrapper
Just a small typo... missing the s.

Should this not be discussed in the extensions section?  Anyways, when do you get that error? I've loaded up the extension on a machine that doesn't have any testable hardware, but modprobe did try to insert it (and failed accordingly).

And I have found a somewhat related issue with these type of extensions...

Yes, now that I'm awake I realize this is more about the extension than about what kernel is in the release. sorry.
Is anyone else having difficulty downloading 4.2.4?.

Tried three downloads from ftb and http ibiblio.org.

All three burned cd's had errors: one had boot errors, the other two had long list of i/o scsi... errors.
As a double check I downloaded 4.2.3 and it worked correctly.

Did checksum on downloads.
