A diff against my current .config shows that this seems to be a pretty fat kernel, many many things compiled into it statically ...

Never assume anything is local ;-) TCP/IP does not care much about local stuff ... This reminds of "something completely different" (who knows which TV-series? ...) : Show us your disklist. >> I would suggest a complete re-install of a vanilla 2.6.6-kernel and >> testing with this one.

Tasty problem. Looking forward to the solution ... -- best regards, Stefan Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
