I'm running 9vx just fine on 2.6.33 -- a non-ubongo version. I wonder if some ubuntu patch to the kernel has broken something? Blast. if you do an ldd on it what libc etc. is it depending on? Could this be another one of those weird libc problems that crops up with specialized 686 or tls-specific libcs? I'm running out again but we can compare the libcs we are depending on. I'm happier than ever that I've dumped ubuntu and replaced it with tinycore. I did a trial install of 9.10 this week on an x60. It loaded. It booted and demanded that it be allowed to upgrade 271 packages. it loaded them and installed them. It no longer booted. That did it for me ... tinycore is a bit of a caveman environment but I'm clearly not sophisticated enough for ubuntu ... I need an OS for "the rest of us knuckle-draggers". ron
