Acrobat Reader 4.05 does not cause a reboot, but ends with a segmentation fault. I have been hoping this problem would be fixed before code freeze, but unfortunently it seems to have gone unreported. I have not tryed with linux_base-7 yet. > >How-To-Repeat: > using linux-netscape or realplayer causes reboot, acroread results in a segmentation fault Maybe a stupid question, but.. are you sure that your Linux emulation kernel module (/modules/linux.ko) is in synch with your kernel and the userland Linux emulation utilities? I mean, it is possible that you have an old linux.ko module, which does not play nice with some new changes in the kernel. I know I had one - sometime around Christmas, a reboot into a newly updated kernel gave me a kernel panic at the Linux ldconfig stage at startup, until I found out that I did not have the Linux emulation module in the list of modules to rebuild, and that I had a linux.ko dating back to August.. So in short: can you do an "ls -l /kernel /modules/linux.ko", and if it turns out that linux.ko is older than your kernel, "cd /usr/src/sys/modules/linux && make clean all install" ? G'luck, Peter -- If wishes were fishes, the antecedent of this conditional would be true. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
