This might be a good point. I will try when I am sufficiently sure that I have found a configuration that works. I tend to believe I have: since I installed kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc nearly three weeks ago, I do not have "1904" any more. Before that, I tried several other kernels (2.6.10, 2.6.11, 2.6.12) and even got the hardware replaced completely (except the hard disk, but including batteries and power suppy), without success. Sigh BTW, this was a hint for me to suspect the kernel: http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2004/01/msg00874.html Harry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
