Hi John, I did the "make config" since this was the first 2.6.X kernel I had attempted, and there was an enormous amount of new options in it. No, my make bzImage died with the same error as the make modules command, the "include/config/MARKER" error. I may be dealing with a faulty SW 10.1 upgrade, I suppose. -- The Moon is Waning Crescent (12% of Full) "Things are in the saddle, and they ride mankind."
