Interesting. My machine crashed yesterday when unloading the cd9660 LKM. This was probably a too old LKM, due to the recent LKM build problems. I couldn't get on the console though so i don't know what exactly happened. Simon, you can't blame the OSS folks for this, if you're running an older LKM in a -current machine... -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
