Mostly irrelevant, but I was just trying to install bisdn (which is a nightmare!) and while config was trying to remove the old directory ../../compile/BRIAN (as it does) it panicked.. it said something like this : panic: blkfree. while freeing block I can't give much more information on the panic as it just tried to sync and reboot and I didn't have a terminal next to me to jot down what it was saying. My disc is now apparently un-fsckable, which is nice. Unfortunately it's the generic kernel which I only installed yesterday, it's a blank system with only pine/zsh/colorls installed, I have done nothing of consequence to it apart from changing root's password and downloading some files to compile. I haven't run anything more than diff, patch, gcc,make,config, colorls,ls and cd, and pico. (you get the idea) Basically, I've done nothing out of the ordinary. I'd submit a pr, but I haven't really got the faintest idea what happened. *rantings about 2.2 - ignore* I'm installing this 2.2 release in the hope that 2.2 is a thoroughly tried and tested stable platform - but I'm having my doubts now. Until now this box had been (like the other 5 boxes here) running 3.0-970209-SNAP, which I've only managed to crash once by unloading the linux emulator while playing linux xquake. Well, anyway, in my expereince current is more stable than stable. Any suggestions whats' causing this, I can't very well stick with 2.2 if it's going to crash after a generic install, I have to use ISDN, do I start using Linux ? Or should I move back to the more stable 3.0-snapshots! Okay, I'm probably just unlucky or have broken hardware. Steve Roome. (stressed/angry/miserable person who doesn't get it)
