And Nate Responds "serial port"...and I theorize about the mouse...and
Nate wonders about my kernel config...AND...
AND...the answer is at Christmastime I upgraded us to 2.1R. I stripped
out all the goodies in the config that I don't need. The system has
worked fine up until now, though. I suspect the kernel is OK.
I think I've found what the problem was. Let's take a look at dmesg
(below)....I bet I know what it's related to. I've got guys using
netscape here and with 24 MB of RAM and 40 MB of swap and it's just not
enough. Something jammed up when swap ran out. (I don't know what to
make of the file system full stuff.)
So anyway...it looks like this machine just ungracefully choked when it
ran out of swap. I've satisfied my own curiousity, I'm just including
this here as a datapoint for anyone else who might wonder what's up.
Happy Trails,
Brian
