I just bought an IBM ThinkPad (R32) and all has gone almost fine. Actually, the install went very well until I tried to build a new kernel so I'd have the driver available for my wifi card. It wouldn't reboot - couldn't find the root directory. I thought I'd messed up LILO, so I reinstalled, only to have the same thing happen, although this time I had set things up so that the install kernel would boot - at least I learned something. Short story - I can't boot into the new kernel, but I think I know why. I believe that because I installed the bf2.4 kernel and my root filesystem is EXT3, when I used make-kpkg I didn't tell it to build ext3 in, not use it as a module. So far I've failed to find out how to do that. Any help in pointing me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- /~\ The ASCII Ken Weinert mc@quarter-flash.com \ / Ribbon Campaign 303-452-6603 (V) 303-705-4258 (F) X Against HTML GnuPG: 9274F1CE GnuPG available at http://www.gnupg.org/ / \ Email! 1D87 3720 BB77 4489 A928 79D6 F8EC DD76 9274 F1CE I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather.
