Hi Juan, I used ``make oldconfig'' after patching the kernel. Just now I've running the build in the test machine ( I built on the devel machine and copied the kernel to the test machine ). If this finishes I'll try to start the debugkernel without the appends first -- but can you tell me where to get the ``startkgdb'' program. I couldn't find it on Google, kernel.org, freshmeat or slashdot. Thanks for your time Frank -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
