Well, it seems like there's overwhelming support for not running 2.4.18. Very well then. I had originally upgraded because I've been having problems with nfsd causing kernel panics occasionally. The new kernel stopped doing that, but then st would seemingly crash the kernel. Perhaps I'll try one of the kernels in between. Thanks for the input! -Chris
