But after that, I wasn't able to make a kernel. So I'm running a 2.1-release kernel with -stable binaries. I do have the problems that you decribe (ps, top, w not working). However, I have just successfully built a GENERIC kernel. Someone pointed out that my trouble might be caused by my config file, which is still from 2.1 release. How could I have known that ? So I must build a new config file now. Thanks everybody ! Michael
