Well, to follow up this - I managed to get my NSLU2 working again by installing etch on a second USB drive I had lying around, then copying it's /lib/modules over to my other USB drive and rebooting. What didn't work, however, was installing the exact same kernel from etch (or the kernel I know was working previously) after rebooting - that only made my slug die on booting again, just like updating my kernel in testing did before. So I guess it's not the kernel that's having a problem, but something in the toolchain used to build the initrd image - but since I don't have a serial port on my slug (nor do I plan on installing one) I couldn't say where the initrd breaks exactly when booting... :( -- Kurt Bernhard Pruenner --- Haendelstrasse 17 --- 4020 Linz --- Austria .......It might be written "Mindfuck", but it's spelt "L-A-I-N"....... np: Thomas Brinkmann - Meadow (When Horses Die...) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
