The quickest alternative MAY be to reinstall. The other alternative is you use a boot floppy with as generic as possible kernel and remake your kernel. If you're using standard kernels, start sticking pins into a voodoo doll of Herbert Xu (the guy who made 8 separate optimized kernels) and get the i386 kernel. >thanks 4 your attention YM "for" HTH :/ >J.A.Serralheiro > > > -- Galt's sci-fi paradox: Stormtroopers versus Redshirts to the death.
