I'm sure it's just coincidence, but let me relate what happened to me today with my Cooker box.
~ 4:00 PM. Working on a problem with a customer. (Problem is that 2.4.18-6mdksecure reboots frequently...seems to be ok with 2.4.18-6mdk). Installed secure kernel and rebooted. ~ 4:15 PM. X doesn't work, so looked around the system, experimented. ~ 4:20 PM. copy /etc/X11/XF86* to a save directory. ~ 4:21 PM. Run 'XFdrake'. Screen goes blank. The computer died. I never could get even a beep out of it :(. I pulled everything and pretty much isolated it to one of either the CPU or the mobo just dying. Pulled the HD out and put it in another box (my regular "stable" box). Now I am down to one box, but that's life I guess. If anybody sees anything that could be remotely attributable to the action of switching to the secure kernel, I'd like to know. I can't in my wildest drunken stupors imagine that it would be related, but I have to ask . Blue skies...
