I've got the opposite problem, a reboot halts. I think that is worse. Your problem is either in userland or the kernel. My alpha halts in the SRM and then it's power cycle time :< not even commands on the serial port work. It does say I can press some key (break key iirc) but I don't have one of those. It's a PC164SX, makes recomiliing kernel fun as the machine is not near me. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
