Is there anything I can do to find out if the kernel is "suitable"? The state of the system is as it is from the Debian dh_bootstrap installation routine (and I installed arround a dozen of i386 debians). Would it help if I email it to you (ftp out works before I reboot the machine)? Would it help if I email something else ? Or tar the complete system and make it available for download? --Rainer.
