try dpkg -l | grep kernel-image that may reveal more info on what your running. it may not return anything. upgrading/changing kernel, especially if its a minor change (2.4.x->2.4.x) should not affect the system config in any way unless you are using custom modules which you compiled from source, those may need to be recompiled. most people don't use such modules though(Nvidia, vmware are common examples). nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
