Firstly installed linux with the default mandrake selection for kde and mandrake system files. Loaded up kernel sources and played around with kernel settings making several new kernels using xconfig ( only problems I had were, couldn't get the boot splash to compile in, and wierd power problem where atx psu wouldn't turn off with new kernel, but would with the default). Anyway, decided to wipe everything and do a miminmum reinstall with reiserfs, and hand picked packages including the kernel source. System works fine but now when I run xconfig to make a new kernel I have this problem. I think its due to a missing rpm, as it worked on the same machine in one installation, but not the other. I had a book from the local library to guide me 1st time round and I think it shed some light in this area, but its gone back now. Will carry on searching and post a fix when (if?) i find out what i did correct first time round. Cheers Huw
