Yeap, and I pretty much figured out that was it. I don't really see an advantage for me to boot with a different kernel than the stock, so I just modified the original boot floppies to include the aacraid and megaraid drivers like I need and went back to those rather than updating the whole floppies. All seems to work now. Thanks! Brian
