Thanks for the encouragement---I had been too chicken to try it yet as the manual said to make sure the chainloading version works first. Actually I even have a flasher but I'd have to install Windows for it in case it screwed my flash chip, so... :) Anyway, I tried and it worked flawlessley in a matter of seconds. Kudos to Colonel Panic! It's still dropping me to the boot menu to load the kernel by hand but I think that has got to do with my default.colo file, have to check it once my new kernel compile has finished. > Your udev errors, what do they entail?

The error message says: | * Mounting /dev for udev ...[ oops ] |=20 |=20 | * The "mount" command failed with error: |=20 | wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on udev, | missing codepage or other error | In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try | dmesg | tail or so |=20 | * Since this is a critical task, startup cannot continue. My glibc is 2.3.6-r4, it's all still the original 2007.0 install image =66rom redhatter. But I'm quite sure that's not the problem, this looks pretty much like a problem I had on a HPPA box a while ago. I had disabled support for hotplug devices in the kernel since it's a server and I thought I didn't need it. Afterwards, udevd wouldn't start any more, complaining about some missing netlink functionality, I don't remember exactly what it was. On the Qube I should have dumped the config from the netbooted installation kernel but went with "make cobal_defconfig" first, which I found later has no hotplug support either. So I'm pretty confident it will work once I have the new kernel compiled (it's going through the whole 2h procedure right now because I forgot to set the clock last time 8-]). I'll post my result when I have any. cheers! Matthias --=20 I prefer encrypted and signed messages.
