Ummm... let's be a little logical here. Why would you blame the kernel for something in msec? The kernel touches /boot and /lib/modules... why would it have anything to do with msec? Did you look at line 66 of that file? What does it say? The previous issue could potentially be attributed to the kernel, but I highly doubt it. This one I think attributing to the kernel is pretty far-fetched. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ Online Security Resource Book; http://linsec.ca/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
