Do you know what modules it uses (when > running.) James, Thanks. I'll try this asap and let you know if it works. I haven't done anything with modules.conf -- all I did was an "install everything" from the cdrom set and (fail to) boot. From my searches it looks like I also need to install the eciadsl driver, but I don't think a usermode driver could fix the failure to boot. cheers, Tim
