The differences shouldn't matter: $ grep -i intel /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_X86_INTEL_USERCOPY=y CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL=y CONFIG_X86_MCE_INTEL=y CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL=y CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_INTEL=y # CONFIG_AGP_INTEL is not set CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=y # CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_INTELHDMI is not set # CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0 is not set # CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0M is not set CONFIG_INTEL_IOATDMA=y # CONFIG_INTEL_MENLOW is not set # CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRC32C_INTEL is not set also check "memory split", "Processor family" but I'm just guessing now... > I'm running up against one other thing.

I've never tried. I just edited it by hand (make a backup) and stuck to the new kernel! sorry I'm not much help... -- Iain Buchanan Don't read everything you believe.
