Hi
The athlon box that used to panic is working fine with only 128 megs.
We got a bunch of athlon 600Mhz boxes which have been running for weeks. I
havent logged on to them since ages and since no one has complained I take
it that they are running fine :)
I did have a weird problem with a k6-2 system once. The kernel (2.2.5, I
think) used to do an oops when I pressed any key after the system had shut
down. The problem disappeared when I put in a new kernel without the md
driver ( I didn't need it anyway)
bye
