You could find out by running strace to find out what system calls are being made by the application. Also is this the same machine or a different one? If it's a different one, the fact that it is looking for a ser# on the machine would suggest that it is licensed per machine/cpu/whatever and failing as it is designed to. > installing the 2.4.x that comes with Sarge solve the problem?

Simply apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.x (where x is whatever version you wish to run, and grub should be automatically updated to reflect the added kernel. If not, the grub config file is in /boot/grub/menu.lst -- Douglas G.
