I did a "manual" compile/install of 2.2.14. The kernel itself did work fine. I found that "ps", "top" and friends from procps 1.2.9-3 did not work correctly with the new kernel. Checking /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes I found that procps 2.0.3 or newer is required for kernel 2.2.14. The Changes file for 2.2.13 indicated that procps 1.2.9 would work with this version. Since I consider procps an essential package, I had two choices at this point. I could have compiled a new version of procps or moved back to kernel 2.2.13. Neither is difficult, but for now I chose to use kernel 2.2.13. John
