Hmm.. I have the same problem with one box I have here, and apparently
there is no similarity whatsoever between my box and the box described
above, hardware-wise:
i486DX2/50 w/ 32 MB FP-DRAM
[some noname motherboard, VLB or ISA only]
Trident VGA on ISA
IDE hard drive WD 350MB
eth0: 3COM 3c509
eth1: WaveLAN
No X, just a bare console. The machine is doing mostly routing and NIS.
Nothing unusual in the configuration, except maybe IP multicasting. But
then I also have IP multicasting compiled in on my personal workstation
and never had a problem with it. I can send more info about .config upon
request.
What happens: if I reboot with 2.0.31-pre9 or 10, the machine locks up
_hard_ (no screen unblanking, nothing in the logs) within one day. 2.0.27
has no problems on the same machine.
Thanks,
Ionut
