Uh...you don't need BootVars. BootX (what version are you running?) should be just fine. I don't know (or remember) right off the top what parameters you should use to go with BootX, but the only ones I can think of relate to video (for me, since I run with a voodoo3 card)...I'm sure someone can point out the correct things to put into your parameters. > So, here I am...

That's odd...I know that Linux is more sensitive with bad hardware than the Mac OS is...perhaps you should try a different kernel? > > Any assistance (or avian sacrifices) would be appreciated. > (munching on turkey sandwich) I hope this helps....
