How're you installing the new kernel? Do you have a partition of type 41 at the beginning of the disk onto which you dd the kernel? That's what I do for my blackhawks and other Mot boxen. I'd say not since you mention quik :). I haven't used quik, so have no clue if it works. I haven't needed it. If I have two disks, one is my stable kernel and the other is my unstable kernel. Did you install based on http://www.debian.org/~porter/? If you used another setup or set of docs I'd like to know about them as it might have more/different info than what Matt has up. ciao, der.hans > Respectfully, > Jeremy T.
