This deserves a boot-floppies bug report if it's still happening in the latest. FYI 3.0.18 will be coming out RSN, so you might wanna wait for that. If it's not fixed, file a bug, priority serious, put [mips] in the subject line. > On initial reboot the "tzconfig" execution fails with a "segfault".
