Hi !
I've got a problem running an old i486/PCI with 4MB (or 8 MB) as a diskless
station. BOOTP/TFTP works fine, the system comes up, and I'm able to log in...
But after running a few commands, "syslog", "cron", "bash" etc. crashes with
signal 11 (SIGSEGV). A few minutes later "init" dies, and the systems reboots.
If I change the swap-file from the network to a harddisk, the system
seems to work fine...
Any ideas ???
Bye
Mathias
