My meaning for this is: The kernel image is not axactly working on your system. That something like this happens is normal if you try to run software that is not really ready to call it stable. I mean the most problems of kernel 2.4 will be overcomed at version 2.4.10. you should look whether you need comx.o. If not, try modconf to delete this module in your configuration. Typing # grep -n COMX .config in kernel-sourcetree will give you the position of this in .config file which you can edit with # vi +123 .config 123 means the number of line which grep showed. Then you can look at config file in which menu section you can select this module where you can go to read the help text. If you will try again to compile the kernel you should use first a minimal configuration. Some supports in Lodable module support, Processortype, General setup, Block devices, Networking options, ATA/IDE or SCSI support and Character devices should be enough to get a bootable kernel. And then you can add step by step all others, you need for your hardware. Mathias
