Incurred the same problem. I'll try not starting the 2nd CPU tonite when I get home and see what happens. BTW Marc, I grabbed the PostgreSQL 6.1 sources from ftp.postgresql.org as you suggested. I don't remember the exact error messages but 970520 didn't compile so I grabbed 970515. It built fine but when I ran initdb it complained that it couldn't find it's library. I ran ldconfig and then initdb again. This time it hung with the follwing... Running: postgres -boot -C -F -D/usr/local/pgsql/data -Q template1 After 5 minutes I did a ^C and the machine promptly crashed. I couldn't read the exact panic msg as it went by too fast. It rebooted, fscked the disk and came up OK but no database. I'll try to mess with it more tonite when I get home. --- Randall D DuCharme Systems Engineer Computer Specialists 414-253-9998 414-253-9919 (fax)
