Yes, you're right.

Huh, i did compile a kernel today (2.6.16.16), included som features
such as sata, it booted ok, even X started fine, but few seconds into
X, the system froze so badly, that even ctrl+atl+bckspc was no help...
Enough of compiling for today, i might try it again in a few days'
time.

To Guybrush: Thanks.
