I finally got it to compile and boot up. I had to have missed something in oldconfig or something was cleaned out during the make mrproper. Anyway, I got it booted but the other problem with regard to compiling the nvidia-drivers with this kernel still remains. Open to ideas on the other thread on that issue. I hope I don't have to save up and buy a newer video card just to update my kernel. o_O Dale :-) :-)
