I ran depmod for the module dependencies after receiving Kim's e-mail and it
finally did boot but after seeing your e-mail and checking my rc.sysinit I
found that you are in fact right. There is a depmod command that should do
this for you. Is it possible that I did not wait long enough on bootup. I
waited at least 15 to 20 minutes. For a pII 333 with 256 meg of ram I
thought that was way to long. Oh well it works with the new kernel now.
Thanks so much for your quick response,
Eddie Strohmier
