Hi, sometimes the scrambled problem happens when you are using a linked inside ramdisk image and it corrupts the kernel itself in some way, it has happened to me quite many times with the nino kernel. It would help to check your config, I can assure you that the 2.4.17 nino code is working, I use it myself but on the nino, it might require some modifications for the Mobilon. -- Ricardo Mendoza Meinhardt ricardo.mendoza@kanux.com .knxTech Administrador Linux Programador/PHP "get ready for a bit of the old Ultra Violence"
