Well, I copied .config from my old kernel, ran oldconfig then menuconfig to check on a couple things. Everything looked normal enough for me system. I did say no to the new stuff tho. My old kernel works fine so I am really only updating the kernel. I'm not sure what you mean by firmware drivers? I don't use modules but it does have a couple that are default and can't get rid of.

Sorry for my tiping but I am really sleepy :-) kh

I got it now. I redone the oldconfig and let the FIRMWARE stuff go to default. It built fine this time. May not boot but it built it. o_O Thanks !! Dale :-) :-)
