I started over with GENERIC and recreated my custom kernel config file... with one minor exception: my previous version, I'd been paring down things I didn't think I needed and optimizing. One of the options I took out was COMPAT_43. The new version from scratch includes it and it all works. I was under the impression that COMPAT_43 was only required for *some* older programs... apparently that was what was breaking quite a few of them, however. I suppose it could also be some of the things added to GENERIC since the 2.1.5 release, but at this point, COMPAT_43 seems to be the culprit. -Dave
