Thanks Steven, I ran #/bin/bash rm -fR /lib/modules/2.2.9 I then re compiled the Kernel from scratch and it works great. The only thing that fails at Loadup is the MIDI modules. It says it can not find the midi module. That is it. Thanks again

Actually, the RPM kernel upgrades do take care of that. The process is similar when you first install Mandrake. You did not have to compile a kernel then. Most probably, the new modules that come with the kernel have problems with your hardware, probably the sound card. Gilbert "James J.
