I know that with 2.0R, I had an intermediate problem where SLIP would hang, and if I SIGINT'd the slattach process, the machine itself would hang. Haven't seen it with 2.0.5R yet, one of the reasons I upgraded, but I've only been running it for a few days now... ...the hang in that case reminded me of an error I had with multi-port serial boards running under a much older version of BSDi, where the bug had something to do with interrupt looping, or something like that. > Also, anyone know why I can't copy a new kernel into place?

An "ls -lo /kernel" should tell you if any of the settings are turned on that would cause this. Marc G.
