Boot with the 1st Mandrake CD as if you're going to install ML and when you get to the bit where you choose the installation type, choose "Expert" and "Update" (NOT "Install") - read carefully. Then continue without choosing any software packages and it will install the original kernel again. You should be right from there on. HTH skinky -- oxymoron: Microsoft Works
