Well thank you. kicking the 10000 up to 50000 now keeps the system from dying from an 'ls /usr/share/doc'. Took 3 times to get it to shut the hell up, but I'm finally writing this while running the 2.6.26 kernel. Thank you! Last time I bothered poking around in /sys was when that "can't echo to /sys" problem had been solved. I didn't want to take the chance of crashing my drives. While I dunno about PrintScreen, even Ctrl+Alt+Delete wasn't working. I'm sure I remember trying nearly every key and their Ctrl, Alt, and Shifted forms. I got into that habit back in my C-64 days, looking for cheat codes to some of the games. I'll let it crash again on my next reboot and try it before I update modules.conf with the silent parameter. Might even port to Sid, now that the thing isn't crashing on me. Some of those full-upgrade listings can get pretty long, and I'd hate to trash something in the middle of one. Thank you. Michael
