I do recall the kernel is an i586 and I believe there was a cyrix CPU option back then (I have to take the drives out of that machine and put them in this one to check as the system stopped booting a few days ago). So looks like a bug. > The same kernel configuration, this time set for 386, booted > successfully. >=20 >=20 > PS: I first tried to sent this to davej@suse.de, but his address seems > not to be valid anymore (: user has moved to ). >=20 I responded to this message only to possibly correct this address, I believe you are looking for davej@redhat.com, correct? -sb --=-HVWmUrQDA6uDVmAvqcYb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA/8c/6QHy9+2ztQiARAuUkAJ9HIFYaQqYEi3NLlvwvnger5KKZwACcDJoJ JDLOeC1MBtYOEMXTmHeOM1A= =d/2U -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-HVWmUrQDA6uDVmAvqcYb--
