I replace my kernel often enough that it's not worth trying to figure out the routines for the panics I've reported. I will do this in the future. I don't want to sound like a whiner, but it would be *really* nice if either someone had alerted me to the fact that I wasn't giving enough information, or if the panic message mentioned this necessary bit. Yes, I should probably have read more of the handbook. Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."
