I _didnt_ create an initrd (I compiled that out) cos you need a new mkinitrd too for that. 4) Look at /etc/modprobe.conf and change any modules for their new names if needed. 5) Reboot. You may get some strangeness about modules, yet still have some loaded after boot. This is (I think) down to the initscripts still looking at modules.conf and getting confused by things (notably the usb drivers have changed) Mark. - -- Mark Watts Senior Systems Engineer QinetiQ TIM St Andrews Road, Malvern GPG Public Key ID: 455420ED -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/HWH7Bn4EFUVUIO0RAtfiAJ4iYRWn99/OzsRdsyYxn/cfMAYdmACfXRSG Ies7Oyv5Z0s8IzsQgwGoVLI= =9M56 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
