Is there a way to remedy the situation? Did you build a new kernel with only cpu "I486_CPU" in the kernel config file maybe? I think that will hurt you when you go back to using a 386. The GENERIC kernel is built with: cpu "I386_CPU" cpu "I486_CPU" cpu "I586_CPU" Maybe you can try to boot the generic kernel? Wilko
