I recompiled libstand and loader picked it up out of the /usr/src tree, so I didn't even need to install it. Glad to have helped track this one down. Thank you and everyone else who helped. I learned a few things with this adventure. :) -- Jason K. Fritcher [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GCS d-() s+:++ a- C+++() UBS+++$ P++(-) L- !E W+(--) N++(+) o?

Unfortunately, it is still crashing with exactly the same halted message. For those that might be interested in the hardware, the system is a Pentium 166, on a Biostar 8500TUC MB with 32 MB of RAM.

There are no hard drives or floppy drives in the system. This machine used to be my server until I replaced it a few months ago with a new machine. -- Jason K.
