Hellio, First, Thanks ! for the sample of "lilo.conf", and the follow-up advice. In the "append" lines, I'll remove all after the synth name, leaving the closing quote. There is a symbolic link called "vmlinuz" in "/boot", pointing to my real kernel. I think "make install" does this when compiling kernels. My timeout is now 1000. Sounds like a lot, but,... All's well but support for my sound card. -Dave
