The kernel debugging doc should help you get a core file, and help you analyze it to the point where you can email us the function it blew up in, and the exact line where it croaked along with the panic message. Any competent C programmer should be able to help you from there. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh? A: Tell them your plans.
