At a guess, udev won't start at all when it sees the older kernel, and instead your system is using the real /dev directory from your root filesystem. You'll have to create /dev/psaux manually - use the MAKEDEV script (cd /dev ; /sbin/MAKEDEV misc) Cheers, Paul -- Paul Dwerryhouse http://leapster.org/paul/ | PGP Key ID: 0x6B91B584 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Installing Debian Sarge with software RAID: http://nepotismia.com/debian/raidinstall/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
