I don't know if it is architecture specific or not. I have seen this on an xeon box with reiserfs on /. System worked fine with a 2.6.8 kernel. Installed the linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp and rebooted. System hung trying to start syslogd. After some time, system continued to boot but no syslogging. I got weird error messages having to do with uid/gid when doing things with sudo. At about the same time, I saw a message on debian-user (I believe) having to do with attribute errors with reiserfs and 2.6.15. A work around was proposed and subsequent follow-ups suggested that errors still persisted. I didn't pursue the solution, since the machine is located 1000 miles from me and the machine would still work fine with 2.6.8. I also heard that a fix was in the 2.6.16. I decided the easiest course of action was to wait until 2.6.16 and try again. John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
