Hmm, OK. I'll try test9, and see if that works any better then...
The original reason I was upgrading to 2.4 was that the 2.2.17 that I
got with potato is extremely flakey on the sun4c platform that I have.
Does anyone have any kernels that work

I was wondering if there is a 1.1.x version of the Blackdown JDK port which

Good luck! :)
