The system locks up just after login: I can't get into debugger, the machine is frozen. I have xdm running. could it be that when the Xserver is about to start it locks up the machine ? The video card is a matrox millennium w/4mb vram. That's the only card plugged into the system. There is one seagate 4gig drive running off the embedded aic7880. Should I do a make world with the new files before building a kernel ? Manfred ============================== || mantar@netcom.com || || pozo@infinex.com || || Ph.
