I don't know of an anchive where a 2.2.18pre21 kernel can be found, though a work-around is this: boot with the rescue.bin that gives you all the modules errors. You will then have access to the /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.18pre21 that you need. Now replace the kernel on the rescue disk as described in : http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-boot-floppy-techinfo.en.html#s-rescue-replace-kernel Now you should be able to boot with that modified rescue.bin and the module symbols on your hard driver will be correct. -David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
