-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Can you tell us what the kernel panic was? I don't think you should be mixing slack 8.1 distro with slack 9.1 kernel, and vice versa, due to the differences in glibc between the 2 different distro versions. I maybe wrong about that though, in which case it shouldn't make a difference.
