Did you strip the kernel both times? I have the same early-reboot problem if I strip my kernels (without the -g option to config). I first ran into the problem when I was testing out the pcvt 3.20 drivers. I made a note of it to Joerg Wunsch and he wasn't sure what to make it of it either, since a kernel shouldn't crash when you strip it. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
