i installed 2.2.6 on a totally virgin system.  pentium pro 200, 128M
RAM, 4G seagate disk, adaptec 2940.  i've used that configuration
successfully before.

the system is awfully unstable.  whereas normally i have uptimes
measured in months, this one hangs or locks up at least once in a 24
hour period.  sometimes there are no signs in the log, it's just
totally locked - trying to switch between consoles with alt-F[1-4]
doesn't work, even ctl-alt-del doesn't work.  it just locked up again
this morning, and this time i got some messages:

those gettys were me trying to log in on the console... i'd type in
"root" at the login: prompt and it would core dump each time.

finally i had to power cycle it.

now it's chugging along nicely but it's a real ticking time bomb.  any 
ideas?
