probably bacause you use a different toolchain AND/OR use different
options of the kernel than I do. The machines I use in production are
lightweight firewalls and/or http, ftp and dns servers. No heavy
filesystem useage, no fancy filesystems (no ext3, reiserfs, lvm,
whatever, just plain ext2). They all run very reliably with kernels
later that 2.4.15-pre2.
As for the toolchain: please post which gcc/kgcc/modutils/binutils you
are using. Esp. the binutils requirement has changed lately.
>This is no Reason for Ed's Problems on running the 2.4.18pre because
my Box
>(sun4m) crashed in the same Way like Ed's.
Ed's is still crashing without LVM. The kernel that boots and runs
fine on my sparc32 (at least recompiles itself cleanly) doesn't boot
on his ss2.
I'd happily send you a 2.4.17-smp and tell you if it runs here you
send my your desired .config.
