If you mean what kernel am I trying to run, then yes it's 2.6. Would there be any way to have it mount automatically on boot? You know, make a script and have it execute when I start up. The vga=normal fixed the blank screen, but read my other reply to see the new problem. Also, any thoughts about what happened with my cdrom drive and device scd0?
