hi dan, i had also got those messages at one time. you might want to upgrade your slackware to 11.0 i am not sure why but i have found that some of the 2.4 kernels cause those errors after i compile them. i am using a 2.6.18.1 kernel and i nolonger get those errors. you can get the slackware 11.0 iso images from slackware.com using bittorrent anyway i am using slackware 11.0 and a 2.6.18.1 kernel and i nolonger get those kind of errors. hope this helps randy turner On Sat, 23 Dec 2006, dan Murphy wrote: > Hello. > I have a question about certain messages I receive from time to > time.
