I betcha you need to dude.... the i686 kernel works fine on P-2 / P-3 / P-4. there is _no_ code in CentOS3/i386 and CentOS4/i386 that wont run on a machine that is an i686 Arch type. Unless you are talking about P-4's with EM64T / x8664. But I presume, knowing the system is a P-3, Tom didnt install x86_64 on there. ( I dont think you would even see the grub prompt in that case, but I havent tried running a x86_64 OS on a P-3 ) - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
