I'm sceptical, Fred says it happens on RHEL (but his RHEL box is down) and Centos 4. He might be running a sort of living museum, I suppose, but he also indicated he can talk to RH about it (when his RHEL box is back up), so I guess it's not a Pentium. Nice trivia tho:-) I decided to chime in again to note that the only systems Fred says it fails on are running 2.6 kernels. It might be worth booting an older 2.6 kernel to see whether that works around the problem. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ Please do not reply off-list
