Checked all of them. RPM reports no problems. Also did a manual check on
them. All seems to be OK.

Problems always start after the system is up about 12 hours or so...

32 MB, 128 MB swap.

some other issues :

Can't recompile a kernel without getting a sig11. With or without cache
enabled.

I was for example doing the following:

rpm -qa | grep glibc

The system reported one library, the next time I ran the same command it
reported broken pipe ???

Then I tried a shutdown : The system was dumping oops messages all over the
screen......


Could this be a hardware-problem. I don't think it is software anymore.....
