Those 2 files get me going. Thanks. I managed to build a kernel natively too. It seems rock solid, no problems beating on the network. It can fill a 100Mb pipe w/o breaking a sweat. The only bug I noticed is there may be a problem with floating point. Every now and then, top reports crazy values for %cpu. This seems to only happen when another FP using process is running, so perhaps there may be some problem with saving/restoring the fp registers... I'm very impressed!
