No luck. The changes from last night were enough to let me boot normally but the box would soon begin to hang up on profiling timer expired errors again. I very much would like to keep my Qlogic, so for the time being, I will continue to not sync my src trees with -stable until this can be resolved. I will, however, try out 4.1.1 as soon as it is available to see if things miraculously improve. I will also be trying some IDE-based installs (ugh!) to see if I can rule out hardware or not. Same machine, different hard drive configuration. Cheers, -matt On Thu, 21 Sep 2000, Matt Groener wrote: > My setup is the same: 1040 in IRQ 10.
