Just about everything I touch has via chipssets in them... No problems to
report.

Please don't flame me, but I've no respect for RedHat. Go compile your own,
you'll do a better job of it. That said, is your chipset being recognized at
boot time? I've seen a custom kernel compiled without the correct support module
included and although it booted, it ran like shit... Similar to your description
actually.

Good Luck, Tim.
