    Hello again,

    I've cvsup'ed the kernel sources a few hours ago (RELENG_5),
    and I've recompiled.

    Now I cannot boot, it gives me "kernel panic" when booting on
    "rlphy0"....this is really very annoying. I'm at work now,
    I cannot give you more details...it took me 4 hours to
    recompile the kernel, so Im not willing to do this again,
    if you are really interested in debugging, I will
    need your collaboration, I can give you an account
    on my system if you want to.

    thanks
