Not at the moment, but i can check if this is of any help. But the segfault shows up in the middle of boot (and i got the impression from an earlier answer that trhis is a known bug). > This sparc box and 2.6.x really hate > each other, resulting in hangs and other not so nice things. Well, i'll find out soon. I took the easy way and switched to a network installation (using rarp and tftpboot). I got a nice and (slow)running woody. After that i did a dist-upgrade and had a night of dependency hell (circular dependency libc6 - kernel-image-2.4 - initrd - .... - libc6). Having to use ar and tar to get my little toy into working condition isn't really what i'd expect from a packaging system. BTW, what would be the appropriate place to report such problems. I'm not sure whether this is an issue of the libc6 package (that checks for the kernel version during installation (???)) or for apt/dpkg. Thank's a lot for your help RalfD > > > Igmar
