I am having several problems. The first prblem involves my IDE harddrive/controller. After the controller is probed (right before it actuall prints that it probes the device, the hard drive light comes on and it will not go off. This happens with the stock GENERIC kernel as well as my customizewd kernel. The drive appears to work normally however. Another problem I am havin is when trying to compile the pdksh port. It gets as far as the configure script, and when it gets to the part when it scans for a "working mmap" it locks up the system so tight I have to press the little button on the front of the case. I have also shutdown the system a couple of times and the system freezes while it appears to be syncing the disks. I don't know if this is related to anything or not, but just about every other time I reboot and start xdm, xconsole reports that it could not open /dev/console. -- Keith Mitchell | The real danger is not that computers will Chesapeake/Blacksburg VA | begin to think like men, but that men will kmitch@infi.net | begin to think like computers. kmitch@csugrad.cs.vt.edu | -- Sydney J.
