I'm able to boot my notebook again, but there are a ton of pcmcia module errors. For example: if I run depmod -a I get depmod *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.9/pcmcia/ray_cs.o also, orinoco_cs.o, netwave_cs.o, airo_cs.o, hermes.o, wvlan_cs.o.... and so on. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do at this point, other than leave it alone since it's after 10:00PM... I was able to create a new bzImage file on my other Linux PC and use mkroot to install it as a floppy. Used that floppy to boot the Notebook with a version 2.4.9 kernel and do a complete rebuild of the kernel using make-kpkg... But there are many loose ends to sort out here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
