well, was it the error the first time you tried to install ? it says you are using a 2.6.21-rc6 kernel, does it segfaults with a debian kernel (such as 2.6.18 or .20) as well ? Do you run selinux or any particular stuff ? could you give your /etc/nsswitch.conf please ? TIA -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O [EMAIL PROTECTED] OOO http://www.madism.org
