Hmmm, I have 2 problems at present: 1. Cannot boot: originally got the 1FA: prompt. Changed some settings in the SCSI BIOS and then it worked (2.0.30 kernel). I recompiled the kernel one more time and from then on it always stops at "LI". I can't fix this one at all, even with 2.0.29. 2. With 2.0.30 I was witnessing a memory leak. However back with 2.0.29 it seems to be OK (or at least the leak is much slower!). So all-in-all 2.0.29 seems to be better. I guess the boot problem is lilo's rather than a specific kernel version....Any helpers here? 8<--------------------------------------->8 Richard Shepherd ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 8<--------------------------------------->8 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
