It could be that from the moment you have upgraded the binaries and you still run the old kernel, that some networking utilities don't work anymore since there were changes in the routing code which may cause a mismatch between the binaries and the kernel. So be prepared that you are off the net while you build your new kernel. > > > --Chris Christoph P. U.
