My gcc is still version 2.95.2 instead of 2.95.3 as described in
Changes, but there were no compilation problems. The system is working
okay, but I don't know, what the error wants to say. As of signal(7),
signal 17 means SIGCHLD, but what child has died?

TIA,

Manfred

The same here. However I've just discovered a workaround for this problem:

The NIC and my SB Live! soundcard shares the same IRQ. If I tried to configure
the NIC before the soundcard I got the message I've described. But if I
configured soundcard first and then NIC, it worked without any problem.
However it's only a workaround and this problem should be fixed. IMHO.
