But the newest file in /sys/compile/KERNELCONFIGNAME was from april 18th, but I've done several upgrades since then, "the new way". After upgrading "the old way" again most files got upgraded (newer timestamp). *And* furthermore, indirectly this *might* be the cause for my crashes. Someone pointed me at this old text: http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/171/1997/2/0/986301/ Since then I've recompiled several bits and have yet to see a crash. Seems like "the new way" isn't foolproof *and* Handbook might need a few words on the issues outlined in the link above. > > panic messages: > > --- > > dmesg: kvm_read: invalid address (c041b600) > > --- > > #0 0x0 in ??
