These are the rescue disks from the debian-slink disk-i386 dir... I'm pretty sure they're not using a kernel for 586+ architecture... I should also mention that someone suggested I try the tecra rescue disk. I did that, and had no luck... I get the same message, so now I'm really stumped, having read the readme for the tecra disk I would have though that'd fix the problem. Thanks again... -- Matthew Gregan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
