I built my new kernel, did a "make install", and then rebooted. However, while trying to the symbols, the loader said: "Error: C:1024>1023 (BIOS limit)". This is kind of an unexpected message, since not only does "fdisk" say only 1023 cylinders, "disklabel" says that the a partition is cylinders 0-34. Do I need a new loader to be able to load -stable kernels, or something? Thanks, Bill
