Tony, Thanks for the bit on the EXTRAVERSION variable in the Makefile. That was causing me problems with some of the modules. I figured out I had to do a make menuconfig or one of the others and I was going to write today to find out how I build modules without tacking 'custom' to the end of the kernel name. I am looking to get a Visioneer USB scanner working. The OneTouch 8600. If I can do that, I am that much closer to getting rid of Windows. Just need to wean off Quicken and get my digital video editing up and running. However, scanning is next. The issue I am having with the SMP Athlon kernel is the with the drivers for my printer. The drivers do not work in SMP. They claim it is the kernel but it may be the code for the drivers. I have also found posting on Web about issues with USB and SMP kernels however, they seem quite dated. Thanks again for your help. FYI is your are going to use PPTP in 8.0 edit the ppp_mppe.c file as follows: //#include <linux/malloc.h> #include <linux/slab.h> Otherwise, the build fails.
