Did you run LILO after you installed the kernel? If you didn't you are probably still booting into your old kernel. If you run `dmesg` you will get a list off all the boot-up messages; the first one will include the data the kernel was compiles. If you enabled modules you should have /proc/modules even if it's empty (assuming you have /proc mounted). -- Harry Henry Gebel, ICQ# 76308382 West Dover Hundred, Delaware
