Fisrt I just locked up using lynx!!! Box rebooted after? 1min? Again proves this is not Netscape, nor a font issue etc. I had 2 hard crashes one right after the other. The first after having set up my printer on my other serial port. One thing I did during this was to unplug my Pilot cradle and plug in my Printer. The two crashes occured shortly after that. Could this be a problem with the serial code/our hardware. (PS I know that you are not supposed to hot swap the serial ports. I just have gotten into bad habbits over the years. ;-) I don't know about others but my 8500 has been moved from dorm room to home and around more times that I can think. I have plug/unpluged the serial port more time that I can think. A couple of us have said they use Cable modems and I am going to DSL as soon as Pac Bell can get out here to hook me up. This tends to rule out the networking code... So what about the serial ports. I am thinking the problem may lie there. Does anyone else have thoughts/info which might support this theory. Thanks Ira Weiny BTW I am trying to get 2.2.10 compiled so I can start messing with the code. Have not gotten it to boot yet... ;-( Was just trying to get some OF info off the web when this problem acted up... [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
