When I try it the second way it gives me 3 errors. Why the difference? Anyway, I repaired the three errors in the second one (two were easy) but I still get the same kernel message when attempting to read the battery so obviously something else is broken. Anyone have any pointers what I should try now? -- Matthew Harrell Bill Gates is only a white Persian Bit Twiddlers, Inc. cat and a monocle away from being mharrell-bmWjYudjZeGERhycZ4x6Ig@public.gmane.org the villain in a James Bond movie. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
