there *is* some bug with the 2.6.9 kernel. i can fully compile a 2.6.9 kernel while running a 2.6.8 kernel, but my machine crashes (really badly too, power off and all, not even a frozen screen) when i compile a 2.6.9 while running a 2.6.9. this behaviour happened three times in a row, crashes at the exact same spot of the compile (or so i believe, remember, no frozen screen or anything). but under 2.6.8 everything compiles fine. i have not filed a bug report yet. -matt zagrabelny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
