When you speak about such problems, the following would have been handy: http://www.it.uc3m.es/~ptb/proconfig/ SuSE have something similar in their default kernels (/proc/config.gz ). This means that you don't have to guess what was the config your kernel was compiled with: you [z]cat /proc/config[.gz] . -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
