I'm getting unreliability in the network system - when under heavy load it will tend to lose connection with the outside world. Network interrupts are still being received, but nothing's getting through to the actual stack. Just restarting the network (rcnetwork restart, rcroute restart) lets me resume, and we now have a watchdog script running to do this, but it's annoying all the same. Anyone else getting this/got a fix? -- Rachel

I already went through this with installation-support but I think they've given up on me. :-} Revision B iMac (Strawberry) with Mac OS 9.1 installed on the MacOS side. Kernel is 2.4.2-SuSE (all other updates to date are also applied - er, maybe as of a week or so ago actually, haven't checked more recently, am playing with nice new Athlon 1.33 GHz box :-)) "bmac" Ethernet driver. Anything else you need, just say. Would it be helpful to have a login on the box? -- Rachel

The are some bugs in the bmac driver, I guess the latest kernel has them fixed. Can you try ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/BETA/k_deflt.rpm? it installs /boot/vmlinux Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...

Er, nope. No BETA directory there. :-) -- Rachel
