Strange... Admittedly, mine is a desktop system, but it *is* a Celeron 366. I've recently rebuilt the kernel using the 2.4.21-0.24mdk sources, and the only problem is the console won't start in anything other than "normal" mode. While the build was progressing, I deleted all the symlinks to config, System.map, initrd.img, kernel.h and vmlinuz before I installed the new kernel. After rebooting, all the links were restored, and new versions of the target files had been created (in some cases overwriting the originals). Apart from the console problem (suspect a mis-configuration of the video section there), the system works perfectly... > > James > >> >> Praedor Atrebates wrote: >> -- Alex Fisher OpenOffice.org Marketing Project Community Contact, Australia
