I am at a loss and really do not know much of anything of your situation, but I just had to write back to you because I once a long long time ago had a Amiga one, but it died and I did not have the parts to fix it again. Sad to say. It was a very nice thing at the time. I thought Motorola would eventually overtake the i86 but it did not in the end. Q: Why are you still keeping it around? Why not rebuild with the 2.6.x kernel and forgo the angst of who knows what. I mean, I did use 2.4 and dredded going to 2.6 in any form. However, after building the last LFS version, the system is quite much more stable than the 2.4 system. I like it very very much. Dale
