I was trying a "make update" in /usr/src, when the system panic'ed and crashed. Unfortunately, it died badly enough that I don't think it was able to save the dump. So, I've just rebooted the machine, moved the DPT-enabled kernel off to the side, re-named the old kernel back into place, and now I'm going to pull the side off the machine so that I can remove the SCSI connector for the internal drive from the DPT card and plug it back into the on-board AIC-7890, so that I can then do a succesful "make update", etc..., before reversing the whole process all over again. Sigh.... Oh, well -- I guess that's the price I pay for playing with beta drivers. ;-) -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
