This, of course, worked perfectly and loaded up in no time
Hi, Sorry I couldn't help quickly enough. I have not dedicated connection to the internet, others need phone, and only upload/download mail every 24hrs or so. I'm pleased you have now got it working. I am not an expert, but were you going from kernel 2.2.20-idepci to a custom kernel 2.6.8? That is a big and brave step due to the modularised kernel (>= 2.4). So you are now running a 2.6 Kernel using apt-get? If so, 1) compare config files (under /boot/config-xxxxx) against your custom /boot/config-xxxx). Also the act of 'apt-get install kernel-image-2.6xxxx' will pull in any packages needed for module handling. Oh, 'apt-get install kernel-source-2.6xxx' should pull in any packages needed for module handling? Since machine is now deployed and working you perhaps have time to research this? -- Chris. ====== -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
