When you say "standard installation instructions" what does that mean exactly? More importantly, which kernel did you use and where did it come from? > $0 : <some hexdump> <-- do you need these dumps It depends. If this kernel is a newish 2.4 kernel or current CVS 2.2, then yes, the dumps are needed to solve the problem. If this is an old or ancient kernel you might want to send the dumps anyway but most people will ignore you. -- Keith M Wesolowski <wesolows@foobazco.org> http://foobazco.org/~wesolows ------(( Project Foobazco Coordinator and Network Administrator ))------ "Nothing motivates a man more than to see his boss put in an honest day's work." -- The fortune file
