hmm, just to test copy the /boot/config-2.2.17 file to /usr/src/linux/.config (or wherever you put the kernel source) and run make dep ; make clean ; make bzImage and repeat that a few times ..see if it segfaults again ive never had menuconfig segfault on a stable kernel maybe something else is at work here ..can't imagine what it is though. does it crash at the same point? also what is your terminal emulation? are you on the console or are you doing this through some sort of telnet/ssh or xterm or something nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
