Fair enough, I suspected it was due to human error ;-)

I must confess though, now that I have been running the snapshot kernel
for a few weeks, there have been odd crashes here and there. When I mean
crash, I mean CRASH!, like the machine spontaneously reboots. It also won't
recognise my IDE CDROM any more, whereas my previous kernel did. Ho hum, I 
suppose that's what I get for running snapshots.
