The first thing I tried was the kernel.old but somehow I managed to have the same problem. It just dawned on me that I could build a Generic kernel on my laptop burn it on a cd (don't have a floppy) and install it on the sick machine. That is what I did and it's happily doing a cvsup right now that will be followed by a make world and new kernel. Many thanks to you, Andrew and Manfred for keeping me from drowning in a glass of water. ed Alfred Perlstein wrote: >* Edwin Culp [011201 21:25] wrote: > >>Andrew, >> >>Thanks.
