Hi, I switched from RHL 7.3 to slackware linux 8.1 about 3 months ago. I installed it on P-III, 833MHz, 40GB HDD, 128MB RAM.
While installing slackware linux, I kept my old partition scheme as it is and formatted all the partitions except /home, /usr1 and /usr2 (/usr1 and /usr2 contain plain data). I selected the standard installation, i.e. whatever packages they install by default. I have not added any additional services to start at the boot time. In short, my installation is the default installation. I am facing following problems with my linux installation: 1. When I boot and log in, many times some application will give SEGV. Typically, the application is XTerm or gcc. If I reboot again, this problem goes away. 2. X Server does not start. If I press alt+F2 for virtual terminal I get garbled up display. If I reboot after this, disks will not get unmounted properly and fsck will be forced at next boot. 3. X Server does not come up and machine hangs. 4. At shutdown time, kernel crashes at some page. dumps a lot of hex values on my screen and machine freezes. 5. In GNOME, many times at start up, the panel will crash poping up a message saying "panel has caused segmentation fault". Some times GNOME initialization will freeze in between forcing me to hard reboot my machine. Is this all because I didn't format my /usr1, /usr2 and /home? Has anybody faced similar problems? I faced this problems in RHL 7.3 also. If anybody of you have come across these problems and know the cause or fix, and if you are willing to help, your help is very much appreciated. Thanks, Atul. __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
