Monday, I will load the latest 3.0 SNAP (which seems to be the right vintage) and try to duplicate this problem. I'm a little concerned that I may not be able to duplicate it though, mainly since you say you have other machines with the same build that don't exhibit the problem. Dan Cross suggested this may be related to a timing problem of some kind which only manifests itself on slower hardware. Unfortunately, my test machine is a 486/33; the fact that it's a different CPU type might affect the results. You say this system is a 386/40. Did you fiddle with the kernel config for this machine so that it has just the I386_CPU cpu type defined, or does it still have the same cpu support as GENERIC? Also, does it have hardware FPU support? If not, did you use options MATH_EMULATE or options GPL_MATH_EMULATE? -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" =============================================================================
