Arrgh! I don't know what might cause initialization/truncation of term.log, but the oldest entry in the file is at least a day after the upgrade failed. The best I can do at this point is rely on my admittedly faulty memory and say that the wheels came off the upgrade process during installation of the Gnome packages. > > (Xorg radeon driver "DefaultConnectorTable" option required(?) on > > Alpha and possibly other non-x86 platforms.) > > Ah, nice... :) That sounds like it should be a separate bug report on the > radeon package, then? Would you call it a bug, or simply a configuration "detail" that needs to be noted during installation on non-x86 platforms? Sheesh... I'm old enough to remember having to remind programmers that not all the world is a VAX :-). I'll *definitely* be filing a bug report on dbus-daemon... The system logs are full of the following (which also appear on the console): dbus-daemon(2382): unaligned trap at 00000200010409fc: 000000011f9d52a1 28 3 dbus-daemon(2382): unaligned trap at 0000020001040a1c: 000000011f9d52a1 2c 1 Similar issue with "radvd", but I reported *that* one (with a code workaround) back in December 2007 (bug id# 456205). At least with "radvd", the underlying issue is use of a character array and later trying to force a particular structure alignment on it. The workaround was to force 8-byte (sizeof(size_t)) alignment on the offending array using "__attribute__ ((aligned(8)))". -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bob Tracy | "I was a beta tester for dirt.
