The only thing i changed from the GENERIC kernel was the name of the kernel itself and added options pcm for my sound card. Everything else was left untouched with the exception of ident where i changed GENERIC to the name of my new kernel. i did a make make install and rebooted and tried to load up this new kernel so i can get a little sound going. the kernel doesn't boot up. it stops and says something about the CPU not being specified. this has happened to me numerous times. This time i am going to have to reinstall EVERYTHING since i 'forgot' to cp kernel.old and the working one has now been overwritten by a broken kernel. what do i need to do to specify CPU type? machine "i386" cpu "I586_CPU" ident <new kernel name> ? do i have to uncomment out the others? Am i choosing the right machine and cpu type for this dell? Do i need quotes etc? If i could just get past this problem (trivial yes i know but i'm still learning this stuff here) i would be a happy camper and then can go on to bigger and better things. ;-) thanks for any input folks Matthew Bettinger Financial Synergies,Inc. 1177 West Loop South, Suite 1400 Houston,Texas 77027-9086 www.fwalling.com 713-623-6600 713-623-6771 FAX ------=_NextPart_000_0029_01C01EEF.E955B860 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; name="Bettinger, Matt (E-mail).vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Bettinger, Matt (E-mail).vcf" BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Bettinger;Matt FN:Matt Bettinger (E-mail) ORG:Financial Synergies, Inc.
