Hai , Finally I got it done. Now my woody shows 2 GB RAM & Dual cpu. I installed kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686-smp over 2.4.28-bf2.4 and again recompile the kernel with the new config file and it works Thx to all for helped me a lot Wish U a Happy New Year 2005 Sarav __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
