Hello,

as when I boot under 2.2.11-acn I got an Oops:

Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077

c020577c t lvm_init_vars
c02057f0 t lvm_geninit
c0205854 T misc_init

In facts, the Oops came right where I sould normally see the:
(scsi0) <Adaptec AIC-7890/1 Ultra2 SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 6/0
...

So I tried a 2.2.12pre4 kernels (not 2.2.11, because I had mail problems, but in
fact quiete the same as 2.2.12pre4): for example under netscape, I sent mail using
sendmail, and as I try to send one, I got:
An error occured while sending mail: SMTP server error.
The server responded:
(null)
Contact your system administrator for assistance.

Ans so I try 2.3.13 and it was a great surprise: I can't see anything at boot time (I
use a vesafb with lilo option vga=794...). So before my root is being mounted, I have
rebooted, in 2.2.10ac12 and I had some strange result: my DVD-ROM is 0x/0x...

I had also put the output from dmesg of the ether because of the first problem.
