This I dunno about. Were I you, I'd just go ahead and get GENERIC installed and running so that your kernel matches your userland at least, then worry about why your can't seem to build your own kernel. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
