All this can have its influence on the stability of the board. Erik - you are correct. The boards are different and as it turns out, it was the kernel command line where one board has 32M of memory and while I thought the other did as well, it only has 8M. so, it was probably getting beyond that 8M limit and accessing different ram and somehow was able to work through all of that, for the most part. Sorry for the noise but it was one of those weird things that caused different crashes but seems to work now. We're going to up the memory and see what we can do with that. Thanks for your help and assistance. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
