I have tried a few time to update my kernel with no joy at all. I followed the update to the letter and when booting I get through a couple of lines of the boot sequence and crash. A few ansi colored boxes at the top of the screen and that is all. Since the new init scrpits make the stock kernel a no go the only thing I can do is a reinstall to get back to linux. One thing I can say is that I bet I can hold my own with any of you installing and getting up in Xwindows now, plenty of experiance ;-). Anyhow does anyone have any suggestions. The newer kernel has support for my scsi card which has my scanner and jaz drive that I would like to use. It hurts my feelings to have to boot back to ms windows to use them. I am using a P233MMX, ATI AIW Pro and 96 Mb of ram so I think the hardware should be capable. I tried to go the route of building my own kernel using the buildkernel script by William Stearns which seems to do the build ok but I cannot access Xwindows, get socket errors. In advance thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this for me. -- Robert Sheskin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 5788323
