I ended up compiling a 2.4.17 kernel on another machine. Once I installed the new kernel on the machine in question, I could then recompile 2.4.17 kernels (to add the stuff I forgot during the first compile.) Don't know why it worked, but it did. Perhaps I could have installed a packaged deb kernel and then recompiled to get what I wanted. Thanks to Paolo Alexis Falcone for his assistance. -- David Raeker-Jordan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Harrisburg, PA, USA
