Ummm the 11th March kernel seems to have slipped off somewhere so I tried
the 12/3 one. This boots fine, but once again I get 'Podule 8 : not
configured' ... although a couple of lines up it is identified correctly.
So it appears I am on 4740 for a bit longer.
Thanks,

PS I have sendmail in my rc.local script (I think - the recommended place
to put it) and when the machine can't find it's network, the whole
shebang stops there unless I do a ctrl-C to stop sendmail running. The
message is something like : Can't resolve my qualified host name,
sleeping for retry
It's not really important but is slightly annoying.
