Hi John, Place a room fan to blow through the open case and see if you still have problems. A friend had a similiar problem that he thought was bad memory, it turned out to be heat related. The memory checked out fine on a bench, not so good in the case. The strange part was that he was running two case fans at the time, increasing their throughput solved the problem. Good luck Tim

I had some problems of unknown origin and finally tracked it down to the 3com driver (module). Are you using the 3com driver? I would try not loading any of the 3com stuff and see what happens. I did download the most recent driver from the NASA? (I think) website, compiled it and that seemed to take care of the random problems. It may have been due to a problem with SMP which you should not have. Worth a try anyway.

I'll look into it and see if I can get a more recent driver. I'm not convinced this is the problem though as:

1) The first segfault I ever saw on this box occured while installing off CD1 2) The Oops crash occured during fsck.ext2, before the system even hit single user mode. The network cards would not have been active at that point.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Regards,

John
