Hi Jay,
There have been some postings (since the 1.1.2 release) to this list
reporting the same problem. Check last week's ones as I sent a kind of
reports-log. I heard of no answers so I am not sure whther we are
exceptions# to the rule.
My solution was to reinstall 1.1 (stable tree)
Phil, Michael,
Maybe pstree (and friends mentioned in the man page) can help you to trace
the problem

Hi, I hope I'm doing this right. I tried to post to the linux.debian.user

In my situation, after two weeks I sent a query and got a prompt
reply that the current 2.0.0 version of the kernel had some known
bugs and they had been waiting for a better version and that they
were "shipping the CD today." It arrived two days later. This was
a few weeks ago.

I'm an experienced linux user (I've been using slackware).
Is there any instructions on having a ramdisk based filesystem (using loadlin's

I should be able to run everything off a cdrom from dos, booting loadlin...

Phil.
I posted earlier that my 2.0.0 kernel, using aic7xxx, corrupted my
superblock, whereas my previous 1.2.13 kernel (aha274x) didn't.
On the advice of Dan Eischen, I got linux kernel 2.0.7 plus a patch
for aic7xxx. I compiled the patched kernel, installed it, and now I
can reboot with impunity. The
