Iwolud like to submit a bug report. This problem happens on my box something like 2 times a day, and is ~quite~ annoying ;) I hope this is the good place for this kind of messages. The situation : A powermac 7300/166, YellowDog 1.0, an ATI video card (the one from the 9500s ATY,MACH64) and an Olitec 56k modem. When I startup ny internet connexion (ala redhat : ifup ppp0), everything is ok, but when i start browsing with netscape, the problems begin... This is a typical log : Jul 22 14:01:14 wip ifup-ppp: pppd started for ppp0 on /dev/ttyS1 at 115200 Jul 22 14:01:15 wip kernel: registered device ppp0 Jul 22 14:01:15 wip pppd[614]: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0 Jul 22 14:01:16 wip chat[617]: send (AT&F1M0^M) Jul 22 14:01:16 wip chat[617]: expect (OK) Jul 22 14:01:16 wip chat[617]: ^M Jul 22 14:01:16 wip chat[617]: OK Jul 22 14:01:16 wip chat[617]: -- got it Jul 22 14:01:16 wip chat[617]: send (ATDT0836019301^M) Jul 22 14:01:16 wip chat[617]: expect (CONNECT) Jul 22 14:01:16 wip chat[617]: ^M Jul 22 14:01:47 wip chat[617]: ATDT0836019301^M^M Jul 22 14:01:47 wip chat[617]: CONNECT Jul 22 14:01:47 wip chat[617]: -- got it Jul 22 14:01:47 wip chat[617]: send (^M) Jul 22 14:01:47 wip chat[617]: send (AT&F1^M) Jul 22 14:01:47 wip pppd[614]: Serial connection established.

The funny thing is that when the FB messages flood the console, i can stop them by shutting down my modem. WHen I power it again, the messages restart to flow! In fact, this hasn't happened only w/ Netscape, but it is a favorising factor ;) I have even got this kind of panic while being on the console (No X!)... I suppose it might be an atyfb problem. My card makes raindow lines on the screen when there are too much colors. This problem has occured with : The 2.2.1 precompiled from paul, a home compiled one from me. The Linus' 2.2.10 home made w/ turbomouse & mol patches, but they aren't in cause. Hope this will help to track something. Staying at your disposition for testings and further info..
