And always keep a working kernel as a backup just in case you get a bad one. I keep a few for that reason myself like this: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # ls -al /boot/bzImage-2.6.* > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2189488 Jan 4 2007 > /boot/bzImage-2.6.18.gentoo-r6-1 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2357808 Jun 8 05:47 /boot/bzImage-2.6.20-r8-1 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2389616 Jun 8 07:01 /boot/bzImage-2.6.20-r8-2 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2396880 Jun 13 01:53 /boot/bzImage-2.6.20-r8-3 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # I try to keep one from a earlier version plus at least one older of the current version. Also, you may want to keep a copy of the .config file too. It can be a life saver. I hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
