I still have the kernel. If I boot to MacOSX and "cat linux | strings | grep version" then the output starts: Linux version 2.2.19-pmac ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.4 20010810 Debian prerelease)) #1 Sun Oct 21 13:45:25 EDT 2001 > I've experimented with mac-fdisk a bit and cannot reproduce this > problem on my Lombard (even taking out all the sleep()s and sync()s). I don't know I described this completely, but the sequence is: open mac-fdisk, delete placeholder partition, create various linux partitions, press "w" to write your partition, then press "q" to quit, and then you get the kernel panic message. > I can only test this with a ZIP disk.

Maybe the 8 strange MacOS partitions have something to do witth it? At any rate, I'm extremely rteluctant to mess with mine any further, having ruined it all twice. Hope this helps Gordon
