You are using the Debian default installation kernel. The description says: This is a more compact version of the 2.2.20 kernel image; it is built with less options enabled, and is originally packaged for the boot floppies. Switch to some other image like kernel-image-2.2.20. Use apt-cache search kernel-image to get a list and apt-cache show $packagename to find out more about the packages. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
