Thanks a bunch. } } Perhaps try something like: } } @set kernelname=kernel } @read -t 5 -p "Enter kernel name [kernel] : " kernelname } @load $kernelname } @include /boot/modules.default } -include /boot/modules.$kernelname } @autoboot 5 } } The 'include' commands make it easier to keep your module sets } organised, should you want to do that.
