What does gdb say is going on (gdb /usr/sbin/config config.core, bt)? Do you have a /sys/compile directory that's writable by the user that's doing the 'config' ? Are you using /usr/sbin/config (type (whereis) config)? -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
