I had a stable 2.1.6, - and now I'm kind of frustrated. I cant locate the problem, but if I f.ex. run MC and try to get info from the disk (F9 - I) I get the message "pid 507(mc), uid 0: exited on signal 11 - segmentation fault". Then the system start to act cracy. What I can find in this situation is that the rc.conf-file starts to be corrupted. It looks like as if all comments in the rc.conf duplicates - "the file starts to grow" - more or less every time I do something. And at the end it is finally corrupt - and some strange behavior comes up during booting. There is also a backup of the rc.conf - rc.conf.previous, but this will of course also go nuts if this "duplication" has been done 2 times. It is partly possible to work on the system as long as I regulary change back the rc.conf-file to my original version, now and then. I also have to mention that as long as the rc.conf works, the system boots quite normal and everething seems normal ! I would be kind of disappointed if I have to reinstall my version 2.1.6 - Can someone help me not to do this ??!!??
