When you upgraded did you also upgrade the kernel? Were you upgrading using 'apt-get' ? I can't help thinking this must be a kernel issue... Perhaps if you stay back at the Potato kernel things will be ok? Otherwise, you might ask on the debian-sparc list. -- ...Adam Di Carlo..<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...<URL:http://www.onshored.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
