Alright - I found out what the problem was. FYI my system is a dual-athlon machine with 512 megs of DDR RAM and SCSI HDs. Under RH 8 I was experience stability issues but *not* under Windows XP. So I saw that the DP 2 of FreeBSD 5 was released, downloaded it, installed it and stability there was also fine - even after recompiling the kernel for SMP support. Previously under FreeBSD 4.x the same sort of problems that plagued me under RH 8 showed up. I thought that was curious and tried installing the previous release of Red Hat (7.3) and it too was also highly stable. I then saw what was different - my Firewire card wasn't detected/supported in Red Hat 7.3 but was in 8.0 and when I commented out that device module my system under Red Hat 8 has been stable ever sense - so it was Firewire. Wacky - am I the only person to have stability problems concerning Firewire hardware?
Thnx everyone for your patience with my rant and your help! ~Christopher -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
