Here's a tip: get the adblocker plugin and add filters for any sites with troublesome flash. eg http://www.economist.com/*swf (or just their ad server or ad directory if it's that easy with their site to get rid of all the ads). Then maybe when the next version of swf_player comes out, go back through your blocked swf urls and try them to see if the problem is fixed. For the time being I actually have a complete flash killer filter, just "*swf" in adblocker, but I don't know if you want to go that far. Sorry if this tip negates testing of swf_player. I have every intention of checking the source code one of these days and seeing if I can understand it well enough to debug these sorts of problems and submit patches. -- Mike Small [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Not difficult at all, I just changed back to a standard debian kernel with initrd myself. Below is my new yaboot.conf entry and the old one. The option is documented in the yaboot.conf man page. image=/vmlinux label=Linux initrd=/initrd.img read-only image=/vmlinux.old label=linux.old read-only So you see, it's only a simple one line change. -- Mike Small [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Also, Yes, yaboot needs to be able to find the image, so it needs a full path to it. Do you mean you have a symlink to it? I think you can use the symlink too, but you need the absolute path to the symlink. >From what I can tell the yaboot.conf file is something read by yaboot itself at boot time, not something that ybin reads and translates to values that would make sense for yaboot, so relative paths to where you are when you run ybin would not make any sense. > I see that this version includes an initrd statement for the old image > as well. Is this unecessary? Maybe for that version the old kernel was also an initrd kernel, in which case, yes. In my example, my previous kernel was not an initrd kernel, so I didn't have the initrd line. -- Mike Small [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
