I still have radom segmentation faults while running dselect (during the update stage) and lots of signal 11 while compiling any kernels using gcc under 2.4pX kernel It never happened while running a 2.2.x kernel (no segfault with dselect and no signal 11 crash with gcc) Could it be possible that 2.4.x kernel is less permissive with memory corruption ? I guess my laptop is overheating a little bit more than expected but another suggestion could be that crashes seems to be correlated with disk access. Were the ESP drivers re-written for Sparc32 in 2.4 ? I really never had such problems with 2.2.x (good uptime...for a laptop) regards, maxime -- Baudin Maxime - Laboratoire électronique et communication - CNAM, Paris Recherche tous renseignements concernant les poupées en terre de pipe -+- G in GGE - Et même pas la généalogie de Monica ? -+-

Hi, last tftp boot image seems to look for an IP-config at startup (like dhcp server) is that right ?

(RDI powerlite laptop) It seems to be a hardware problem, I never understand if it was because of a non-standard floppy drive or controler.
