Wrong list, but this needs to be set straight. Please send any further

This doesn't happen here. It's supposed to use modprobe, which

How did you install that?

controllers or soundcards):
# cat /etc/conf.modules
alias eth0 3c90x
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc

Are you sure the hardware is ok? Applications that usually work well
dumping core is usually a sign of bad memory or overheated CPUs. See
http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ for more detailed information.
It's either this, or you've added customizations that don't work, or
you've used a CD someone has tampered with.
We know of _many_ servers running Red Hat Linux 6.2 with an uptime ever
since they first installed.

Same as (3).
I've been using 6.2 until 7 was released, I usually compile about 25
packages a day, and I've never seen ld crashing.
