Why did this > happen and what do I do to correct/prevent it? Again, I'm sure that it didn't happen because of the kernel build. If you can show *exactly* what happened between the build and the discovery that you had lost your config files (which ones, for example), it would maybe help. But I'd suggest that you repeat it and see if it happens again. Greg
