Hang in there --
I went through 3 rebuilds, but it looks pretty good at this point.
This is on an SX. I have an AS200 with Tru64 on it that I can plop
rh6.2 or 7 on and try the new kernel. Yell if you want me to give it
a shot. OTOH, it really does sound like you have a ram problem....
Has anybody gotten happy with the new modules stuff?
thanx,
-ls-
