This resulted in a kernel file that was 2512988 bytes, a much larger number than was expected (GENERIC is 1457189). This resulting kernel file hung as soon as the kernel was loaded (it never got to process -c flags). I haven't yet compiled the netatalk software itself on this system (P200, 32M, 3C509, wd0 only). Removing this option and remaking the kernel resulted in a perfectly working kernel. If there's something I've missed, please let me know. This did work with 2.2.2R. If there are releases past 2.2.5 that I can help test to see if this problem is eliminated, I will be happy to help. I'm not skilled enough with AppleTalk in general to be able to debug the kernel source itself, unfortunately. dw -- A bug in my MUA causes news.announce.newusers font to be sent to beneficiaries and senders of UCE/SPAM. @ mcs.net Wishes are like dishes.
