this is a very easy way for people who have nforce 2 boards to get agp support with redhat 9 without having to recompile their kernels.
get on google, and type "redhat rawhide." go through the pages until you find the i386 rpm's, then download kernel 2.4.22-blah blah, and it's source .rpm.
open a terminal, su to root, cd to the directory you downloaded the .rpm's to, then type:
rpm -ivh kernel*
after that finishes, reboot. you will see a list of kernels, but the new one will NOT be the default. pick the new kernel. after the desktop loads, open the terminal again, su to root, then type:
emacs /boot/grub/grub.conf
you will then see a page with the kernels listed. change the value in the line that says "default" to "0." click "file," then "save current buffer."
reboot, then you have redhat 9, with a 2.4.22-whatever kernel with no compiling.
