My machine is home made, dual PIII, 512MRam IDE, SCSI, well, loads really. I ran 4.2-RELEASE no problems. My 4.3 arrived in the post yesterday but the day b4 decided to go to -STABLE. Never done it b4 but I've never had probs b4 either. I am just cvsup'ing now. If the prob is still there tomorrow then I'll try to get more info on it to post. Hard to find the problem otherwise.
