OK, so you customized your device hints file. Don't do that; that's what broke your console. Don't compile device hints into your kernel, either. Just use the stock device.hints that mergemaster installs in /boot, and you will be fine. There is no need to modify the hints file except in very special circumstances, and it has no effect on the size of your kernel. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
