Hi Paul, Paul wrote: > Rebuilding the whole kernel is kinda extreme Indeed, but i've installed CentOS 4 to be a fileserver to a network where there are many Macs, and the kernel didn't have support for Appletalk compiled. So, no choice. Anyway, i've managed allright with # make menuconfig # make clean # make rpm # rpm -ivh # *had* to edit grub.conf # and finally, not mentioned here before in any post (as far as i can remember), make the respective initrd for the new kernel in /boot Everything's allright now. Thanks to everyone who contributed with their sugestions, helping me and others in the future that may come across the same issue. Warm Regards, Mário Gamnito
