DS25 requires a kernel that is NOT compiled with the LEGACY_START_ADDRESS=y configuration option. Other machines with requirements like DS25 are: DS15, DS45, ES47. IIRC, it's only the MILO-based machines that require LEGACY_START_ADDRESS. --Jay++ --------------------------------------------------------------- Jay A Estabrook HPTC - LINUX support Hewlett-Packard Company - ZKO2-3/N30 (603) 884-0301 110 Spit Brook Road, Nashua NH 03062 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------
