Reply-To: scott@zorch.sf-bay.org Sender: usenet@zorch.SF-Bay.ORG (Charlie Root) Organization: At Home; Salida, CA Message-ID: <DJCq3w.yq@zorch.SF-Bay.ORG> X-Nntp-Posting-Host: localhost.sf-bay.org Date: Sun, 10 Dec 1995 03:38:20 GMT Lines: 14 I was running just the kernel from 2.1.0-951026-SNAP for a few weeks, and noticed some stability problems. When I reverted to 2.0.5R, they went away, so I'm inclined to feel it was a software issue. The problems themselves were a series of mysterious crashes that left no traces in the logs (besides the boot messages, of course). I'm not saying that SNAP was unstable, though it would be reassuring if that were a known problem. I do wonder if the combination of 2.0.5R system (e.g. shared libc) and 2.1 kernel was the actual cause, perhaps a parameter mismatch between libraries and kernel. Any suggestions? -- Scott Hazen Mueller | scott@zorch.SF-Bay.ORG or tandem!zorch!scott
