Thanks, Russ Had changed "Enhanced Real Time Clock" from module to built-in so next itteration will change it back and check it out. In the meanwhile here's a recap of what I've done: Started with a Slackware 9.0 installation, booting kernel 2.4.xx. Custom kernel, these (amoung others) are modules: lp, floppy, and "Enhanced Real Time Clock". Have this line in fstab so can mount floppy as user: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user Everything works as expected. Then kernel-2.6 came out. So I "cp /vmlinuz /vmlinuz.4", changed lilo's first entry to lin6, adding 2nd entry lin4, installed lilo, edited lilo.config to change the 2nd vmlinuz to vmlinuz.4 and recycled lilo. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
