Actually "diff dmesg dmesg.ll" shows just 2 not important differences: #v+ 19c19 < Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda2 ro --- > Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda2 ro BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz 21c21 < Detected 427.757 MHz processor. --- > Detected 427.758 MHz processor. #v- "Just for reason" I'm attaching both ("dmesg.ll" - boot-up using Loadlin) regards, Zbigniew
