No, plain old P4. > In this case try > kernel /platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix > module /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive > > Worth a try. I tried deleting the module line and then booting, which just flashed and returned to the menu (albeit a bit messed up). Then I tried typing in the commands at the prompt without the module line, which gave an error 8 (must load kernel before booting?). Using "kernel$" made it say "loading kernel/unix" or similar, but then still the error 8 afterwards. -- sam brightman
