every machine I've tried to run 2.4.17 upto 2.4.18-pre4 crashed. those
kernels seem to be shit. although there are people who have had success.
I'm running 2.4.18-pre7-ac1 now which seems to have fixed the problem.
stick with 2.4.16 till 2.4.18 is released.

still wrong.

so does anyone have any suggestions, as we are without backups for the
moment while I try to figure out a solution.
It really looks to me to be a tape error. as its gzip complaining about
invalid compressed data.
