I have it working but I need to ask what is with the "make oldconfig" function? To say it made some mistakes is possibly an understatement. I may as well have fed it .configs generated by /dev/urandom as its taken me 6 builds so far to pick up and reset the stuff it randomly changed on me, with another being done right now because it played mix and miss-match with the hardware monitoring and I now have no cpu sensors for temps etc. 99.9% of this wasted bandwidth could have been prevented if the 'make oldconfig' worked as expected. Comments? Thanks & a tip of the hat to all, 2.6.36 is 5 rebuilds later, running well so far except for the temps, fans etc. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
