Hi folks, Since posting my last message about kernel re-compilation I've booted again with the same result as previously. However, this time I hit the Control key to shut SpeakUp up a little and found that I got some warnings like "/boot/system map contains an incorrect kernel version" - I imagine that this means I need to tweak something somewhere in order to reflect the fact that "uname -r" now reports 2.2.14 instead of my old 2.2.12. I might be missing punctuation in the message, so don't treat it as verbatim. My linux image statement in lilo.conf is /vmlinuz and, obviously this file exists at root (I checked, honest). Could this account for my i586 errors, which come up later after the speech stops? I'm going to try a "make config" tomorrow when my helper is around again, but if anybody has any ideas in the meantime I'd love to hear them. Thanks again.

The config settings are stored in /usr/src/linux/.config, assuming you compiled from /usr/src/linux. This file is generated by the make config process and is what make oldconfig refferences. Geoff.
