I figured out why the raid-2.2.14-B1 patch from http://www.redhat.com/~mingo would fail. I went to the web page with lynx, and I hit 'p' for print which gives you the option to print to a file. The print option must have mangled the patch, because later, I hit 'd' for download, and it worked! $ cd /usr/src $ patch -p0 < raid-2.2.14-B1 Watch the way you get the patch! brian -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/
