I run: cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.10 cp /boot/config-2.6.5-1.358 .config make menuconfig <change processor type ONLY> make bzImage make modules sudo cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10 sudo cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.10 sudo cp .config /boot/config-26.10 cd /boot sudo /sbin/mkinitrd initrd-2.6.10.img 2.6.10 cd grub sudo vim menu.lst <copy the first entry and change versions ONLY> sudo /sbin/init 6 (to reboot) Do you think that choosing my own options from the start instead of using the stock config would fix it? Thanks! -Steven
