Thanks. It was a standard 2.4.20 kernel so I should find that one on the
CD1 and copy that over to my hard disk. Im a bit hesitant about
replacing a kernel that was working fine just before the OSX upgrade.
I will run the e2fsck and see what gives on that and I will look ta the
kernel filesize too and see what it is. Maybe even compare to the CD1 one.
PS. I just tried resetting the NVRAM params but that didnt fix the prob
either.
