Well, sure, but note that if you're not aware that you compiled a kernel 
you (well, probably...) didn't which would mean you don't have the 
correct kernel source tree around anyway. And if you _were_ aware that 
you did you'd have been probably aware of the directory from which you 
ran "make" while doing so, so...

If you upgraded to 2.6.25.9 through your distribution or something, I'll 
need to talk you through compiling and installing a kernel from scratch. 
If that's necessary, which distribution do you use?

Rene.
