Nothing in the .config seems to jump out and bite me, so a few questions for more background: Which kernel version?
Kernel version is 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 Full UName: Linux nophinity 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 #2 SMP Sat Feb 10 15:32:52 EET 2007 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux Is this a new machine, or a new install on an old machine that used to
work fine?
Its a new install on an old box.. sorry but I don't have the last config file:( If it's the second, what was the last known good kernel that ran?
I'd like to see a 'diff -u' between the current config and the last known good one alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
