Shouldn't have anything to do with building the kernel, but it could make the difference in booting it. I do have those installed, so that isn't it in my case. When I get a chance I'll build a new config file, making sure that nothing could get picked up from my old one. I suspect that's probably the issue, even though I didn't do a make oldconfig, something got picked up from my 9.1 kernel config. The machine with Mandrake is at home, and I'm off earning my living at the moment. Nice to hear that someone has it running. Paul Misner
