Just 5 mins ago I had 2.1.90-pre2 die in a really big way, I was on the
internet via ethernet, an rc5-64 client was running, an rlogin to my
router and lynx going, I hit 'd' to download a file, my screen suddenly
filled with _a lot_ of errors (I vaguely saw a couple of memory address go
by and then the screen filled with 'Scheduling from interspt' and the
system froze solid, it even turned off the numlock on my keyboard, SysRq
didn't work, and nither did the three finger salute, the keyboard
seemed to be dead, and no log entries, and there wasn't even the hint of
filesystem corruption that you might normally see, which may mean
nothing... And there was also an SMB filesystem mounted, but the
host computer was turned off, but I wasn't trying to access the drive.
The machine in question is a P166 on a GA-586ATM/P M/B, 56Mb RAM,
AHA-2940U, SCSI & IDE drives.
If you need any more info, I'd be glad to help in anyway I can.
The difference between genius and stupidity
is that genius has it's limits.
