I've had two hardware failures during upgrades: Once, when trying to upgrade from 2.x to 3.x, my CD-ROM died. That was fairly obvious. The second time (on a different system), the system refused to reboot after upgrading the kernel until I unplugged my PCMCIA modem card. After much hair-pulling (and assistance from imp@), I worked out that the card had died. We often have problems at work with antique AlphaServers that get very temperamental if they are rebooted or power-cycled after being on and running for several years. --=20 Peter Jeremy --9zSXsLTf0vkW971A Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFlFJl/opHv/APuIcRAg3gAKCxIRnr/5vyXtLxRDtuFrp3qFXu4gCeJtrh b9U2gtVWlYGCkPn/wgcCIKs= =l0XU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --9zSXsLTf0vkW971A--
