Considering the kind of extensive testing that I and others have been doing over the last 2 months, and the relative few changes that have been made to the kernel (especially in areas that might make a difference in the kind of problems that you're seeing), I must conclude that the problem is specific to both your configuration and the way that the installation works. I think there is some kind of quirk in the kernel gziping and/or compressed MFS that is being used in the install process that is causing the problem. I am interested in working with you and others to diagnose and fix the problem, but I have very little to go by at the moment. Any information that you can provide about your hardware and the steps you took (such as disabling or not disabling devices in userconfig, etc.), is escential. -DG
