Hi Mike.
I just did a newkernel with the script I supplied and here's what turned up in
/boot:
newkernel
vmlinuz-2.4.5
map
vmlinuz-2.4.6
vmlinuz-2.4.7
The "map" file and "ndewkernel" both have the same time/date stamp. "map" has
always turned up on it's own when I compile new kernels. As for checking dmseg
after booting the new kernel... I don't see any errors or complaints listed...
what am I to look for?
Cheers... I'm off to the office. From what I gather from this weekends gosip...
I have a dead server to look at... Oh... boy... ;'(
