I've been offline for a few days because it seems my motherboard is fried. I'm sending this message from another machine. The really WEIRD thing - I had just recompiled a Linux kernel, then rebooted, got a "kernel panic". Tried rebooting again into single-user mode, but kernel panic again. Next attempt to reboot into the old kernel, but this time nothing at all - no video, the motherboard just died. My question - is there any possibility that a misconfigured kernel could harm the hardware? Or is it just a strange coincidence that "kernel panic" was followed by real hardware failure? Sorry, I know this is off-topic, it was Linux not FreeBSD, but I'm still sort of dazed. regards, Robert
