Two ideas: 1) If you upgraded from the original kernel, you should be able to install it from your CDs. 2) If you had a different kernel, do a uname -a and post it here. Unless you compiled your own kernel, there's a good chance that one of us has an old copy lying around on one of our machines and would be willing to post it somewhere for you to download. I know that I have the following on a machine at work: vmlinux-2.4.20-13.9smp vmlinux-2.4.20-18.9smp vmlinux-2.4.20-19.9smp vmlinux-2.4.20-20.9smp vmlinux-2.4.20-8smp vmlinux-2.4.20-9smp Ben -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
