As I said, * no keyboard response * :-). Can't Alt-F* to get another vcon. This crash takes it *all* out. It's one of the bad ones, that drop you to single user and tell you to fsck manually when you finally get tired of waiting and hit TBRS. > > You may want to set up a serial console and see if the system is > panicking.

This motherboard seems to be designed for M$ stuff, rather than something real, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. > > > DFI P5BV3+ (VIA chipset) motherboard, AMD K6-2 350 (not o/c), S3 Aurora based > > PCI video w/2MB, 128MB.
