OK, I'll make-kpkg a kernel with exactly the same config and see if that goes ok. There is still one problem, more annoying than anything. The kernel ignores the kernel parameters, including the root= line. With identical silo configs, an old kernel will know root is /dev/hda1 while the one using your instructions (and when I compile it sometimes if it gets that far) thinks the kernel parameters are "" This happens even if I put it on the silo line, eg linux root=/dev/hda1 The only way to get it to work is to break to the ok prompt and type boot linux root=/dev/hda1 it then knows the kernel paramters are "root=/dev/hda1" and mounts / correctly and happily goes on its way. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
