Thanks, Dan If you did a boot disk when you instaled the Linux, first of all , try to run the system with it. Have a look to your lilo.conf at /etc, you could see a line as: image=/boot/vmlinuz Look for a file , maybe at /boot directory called vmlinuz.old or something like that at the same directory, sometimes when you recompile the kernel if you select the option that modify the lilo.conf , the old image is changed but not lossed. you'll have got the new image of the kernel. Change the name of the new kernel's image (i.e. mv vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz.new) an do the same with the old image (ie. mv vmlinuz.old /boot/vmlinuz). Restart the system, this time without the disk, It could works. If you didn't a boot disk when you installed your system , I'm afraid you'll have to install again your system. Maybe someone can give you another solution. Good luck. Fernando García.

Re: [newbie] kernel recompile
Do you have a backup boot disk (it asked you to create one during installation)? If you do, just boot off of that, and after you get into Linux, change LILO back so that it points to your old kernel, instead of your new one.

RE: [newbie] Kernel Recompile
I found a tidbit of information that may pertain to your situation. Here is the URL for the info: http://www.patoche.org/LTT/kernel/0153.html Basically, the info says that these modules aren't needed. You can safely comment these out in /etc/conf.modules. They are just some compression types for network protocols that were left over and not commented out. original message I am using Mandrtake 6.0 with the s.s.9-27 kernel that comes with it. I recompiled the kernel using the following steps: xconfig -- checked off only the items needed by my computer. make dep make bzImage make modules make modules install The last command, make modules install, automatically installed the new kernel and system map. I know this because the old ones were there too. Lilo was changed with the /sbin/lilo command. However, when i rebooted the new kernel I got the following error message repeated down the screen: can't find module: net-pf-01 My compute is at home and is not hooked up to any network and I thought I told it to not load any of the networking daemons.
