Something's fishy. I guess ;-) > [ Here the machines hangs again. I've tried many more times with different kernel configurations, but it's the same thing. It either "gets a dbe" or just stops after "TCP: Hash tables ..." ] I assume it's your specific configuration that's triggering the problem. I've got the current CVS kernel running on 2 dual processor O200 and a 32 processor Origin 2000, so it can't be all broken. I think all known to be working configuratons are machines with significantly more memory; dunno if that's really related or not. Thanks for sending the oops message; however without additional data provided I can't use it. Can you please point please put the kernel image that resulted in the oops online? Ralf
