Three weeks ago I finally got Debian Linux 1.1 up and running rock solid on
my 486 DX4-100. Well, a week ago I upgraded to Pentium and couldn't wait to
see Linux performance boot, but... Continuous *random* crashes. I thought I'd
re-install, but the installation broke as well... for many times.
If you have had trouble booting from the installation floppy (created
from boot1440.bin or boot1200.bin), please help me out.
I have been researching the problem (thanks to Bruce Perens for help
and guidance), and I would now like to pinpoint a specific hardware
incompatibility, if one exists. Ho

Hi, I have a strange problem with two Elonex 486 machines running Linux (a
486/25 and a 486/33). The internal timer sometimes start running at double

Hmm, I hadn't thought about that. Ok,
I had a nasty surprise using ftape to dump my filesystems for archival
right before repartitioning my hard drive. I wanted to let people
know about this in case they were not already aware.
If you plan to dump several filesystems to one tape (that is, more than
one session on a tape) you need to

Hi - just a little note to say that I solved the problem with getting
X to work with gpm still running.
You may recall I posted, complaining that I had to kill gpm before I
could get X to run. I solved the problem by changing the mouse device
over to /dev/ttyS0 (whereas before it was /dev/cua0).
