Hi Arjan's 2.6 kernel testers.. Upgrade went as follows below. (successful) Rebooted noticed USB modules and nvidia drivers fail during boot process, but system was usable after i got the mouse working. Mouse not working switched to another screen and issued modprobe psmouse mouse then worked. I tried VMWare but was unable to compile the vmnet modules. Results attached. I might need to upgrade to gcc 3.3 though I do not think this would resolve the errors.
