I forgot to add that this only happens with kernels I compile - not the
install kernels that are available!
However, the install kernels don't appear to be compatible with the
(1.4) binaries of dmesg, for example.

Also, I find that with any of the kernels I compile, ps reports "/proc
size mismatch". Is there some incompatibility with the 1.4 binaries and
the 1.4.1 kernel source?

cheers
Chris.
