I'm not sure how to interpret the comment that "the procedure in the Handbook is more extensive than I had time for." It doesn't take any time, really, unless you sit and watch the compiler messages streaming past. If you haven't tried this yet, I recommend following the Handbook method with a GENERIC kernel and see how that goes. That should give you a kernel remarkably similar to the one you installed initially. If that works, you can rest assured the procedure is sound, and it's the configuration that needs tweaking. -- Paul Beard <paulbeard.no-ip.org/movabletype/> paulbeard [at] mac.com
