I'd use tar instead of cp but I'm not sure that's the problem. But what about /sys and /proc? Did you copy those.

You could just run flash-kernel 2.6.18-6-ixp4xx. But if 2.6.18-6-ixp4xx is installed on your machine, I could also give you a firmware image that you could write with upslug2. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
