Well there are a couple in the error message... Have you checked that you have IPC configured in the kernel?

Have you checked the amount of memory available? 73, Ged. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
