No - but I think that, rather than the kernel, it was actually later 
versions of KDE. The messages, which I thought were happening at the 
end of the boot process, were actually happening when KDE started up - 
not the display manager, but the actual wm. I've noticed that when I 
use a less hungry wm (I'm playing with ROX at the moment), the messages 
either disappear or are greatly lessened - so I'm not so worried as I 
was! I think I'm just using a box that isn't quite a high enough spec 
for what I'm making it do.

Just as well... 8-)

Cheers!
