That answered exactly what i needed. That, and a bunch of modules I 
compiled in that are of no use, are the only errors on startup and I 
wanted to make sure I was not hindering the functionality of my system. 
I couldnt find any problems, and things seem more stable (fingers 
crossed). I will probably give another run at building a kernel to 
optimize things a bit, but I mainly want a stable machine, and with 
nearly a gig of ram, who cares about an extra meg of kernel.

Thanks a bunch,
Matt
