I would have used it but wasn't able to get a tar file without corruption. I will try it again, if possible 2.2.10. 2.2.8 obviously doesn't solve my problem. Today I saw the following in my log file: Jun 21 13:32:56 memo kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6f4d205f Jun 21 13:32:56 memo kernel: current->tss.cr3 = 05889000, %cr3 = 05889000 Jun 21 13:32:56 memo kernel: *pde = 00000000 Jun 21 13:32:56 memo kernel: Oops: 0000 Jun 21 13:32:56 memo kernel: CPU: 0 Luckily the machine didn't crash, but that's only a question of time. I am wondering if it would help to write down everything from the console about this kernel Oops? BTW, what's the difference between a kernel Oops and a panic, except that a panic brings the system every time to a halt. Every hint appreciated. -Werner
