It does accept the ctrl+alt+del to shutdown.. Another question which i wanted to ask was, how does the new kernel know where to find the new compiled modules in the /lib/modules directoy? I have my old modules in /lib/modules/2.2.16, and my new modules under /lib/modules/2.4.2. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. srimg. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Auctions - buy the things you want at great prices http://auctions.yahoo.com/
