Hopefully it will work for you, make sure you keep your old :vmlinuz in /boot and the original linux image in lilo.conf so that you go :back to it in case you screw up. : :Side note: When I first recompiled my kernel, after booting up on my new :image, I got a whole bunch of errors when loading my modules saying :something about "unresolved dependencies". It drove me up the wall until I :found the solution. Here it is.....before running "make modules", move the :directory in /lib/modules to an old version. For example, my linux version :number is 2.2.12-20, so the directory in /lib/modules is 2.2.12-20, so I :renamed it to 2.2.12-20.old and then ran make modules and make :modules_install. After this, to check and see if you get any errors at :bootup, you can type "depmod -a". This will tell you if you have any :unresolved module dependencies. : :I hope this helps. : Hey nice tip, I will have to try that when it is time to upgrade my kernel, it does sound like it will make a few things more nicer. -- -Rune Operating-system software is the program that orchestrates all the basic functions of a computer. -- The Wall Street Journal, Tuesday, September 15, 1987, page 40 Windows 2000 can be called a parasite because it keeps growing, consuming its host's resources and spreading across networks ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://plug.nothinbut.net Announcements - http://lists.nothinbut.net/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.nothinbut.net/mail/listinfo/plug
