Paul, Thanks for your reply. I found that, for some reason, my TPad didn't want to boot any 'bzImage', but that any 'zImage' was fine. ??? All is well, now. I have a tendency to do things manually with regards to the kernel. :) Cheers, Matt Matt Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] MZI, Inc. v-206.430.3726 707 S.
