Was the previou s linux system on this or other hardware? If other, then I suspect your current hardware. Read the Sig11 faq. Often a go-faster option that is enabled pushes the machine into instability that is clearly evident when the machine is compiling a kernel and less obvious at other times; another cause can be a bug in the motherboard. A slow process of elimination is required to determine the precise cause of the problem; I had trouble with one motherboard which I traced to the bios option "NA# asserted" _or_ to having more than 64MB of ram fitted. Great, eh? Andrew -- http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=45690
