Michael,

  Thanks for the help with figuring out why the kernels resumed locking 
up on the pcmcia portion of the boot sequence. After reading your 
message and looking at the dmesg that I sent for more information about 
my system. It is a lot clearer to what is going on. (acpi listed again 
and again.)

Switching to mozilla with the newer kernel. It seems to be working. But 
he problem was mostly related to filling out forms, like logging into 
rhn and also with putting in passwords for the mailer. i'll try that 
later, I'm just glad that I cn mov forward with newer kernel version and 
am not stuck with one working RH kernel.
