As of Linux kernel 2.6.4, I'm still experiencing tcp stack errors on my test server that runs a database, which at one point rendered my machine almost useless when large queries are being processed (as I can't even remotely connect to the machine, and the kernel spews out printk's on the console...) I'm already having second thoughts of reverting it back to a 2.4 kernel but then I'd have to contend with reduced functionality and performance of multi-threaded processes. I'd try recompiling 2.6.5 later though, and have it tested... hopefully it would work out just fine... -- Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] To mess up a Linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up your Windows box, you just need to work on it.
