/usr/src contains the source to the kernel (as you'd expect form the name). The actual kernels live in /boot, this is the version that must match. As was previously pointed out, if you use "make install" to install your kernel, the correct files are copied to the correct places, and symlinks are set up so you don't need to mess with your bootloader config. -- Neil Bothwick "What is about L'waxana Troi that makes me melt." * Odo
