Ok...for hardware, all I have in the machine is: A Linksys 10/100 ethernet (uses pn0) A SCSI card (uses bt0) A S3 Virge video card A FIC VA-503+ motherboard w/ 32meg PC66 sdram and a K6-2 400 the only thing changed between the 2 machines was the other was a Shuttle Socket 370 motherboard, and a Celeron 366 cpu. Everything was moved from one case/motherboard to the other case/motherboard. The kernel had "ata" compiled in, the options for my hardware, and the basic floppy and video, nothing that I though was unusual. Sorrry about the way I typed before...I actually talk like that (or worse) half the time, and I have to remember when to talk/type normally.
