That's what I'm doing -- first the kerhel upgrade. I have it as far as 2.4, but I still can't get my second hard disk accepted (it complains aout an invalid nmber of heads). Which I think odd, because years ago this was the upgrade patch I actually used. I'm going to check my forensic backup in case I can get a clue as to what exact kernel I did use back then. Or is there something else I need to know about 80gig hard disks? -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
