Hi all,

I've been investigating on this segfaults...

The problem only occurs when I use a 2.4.26 kernel (compiled on the wb=20
box).  I need to recompile to add 3c515 NIC support.
The kernel compilation goes fine (same config as others RHEL boxes here),=20
the wbox reboots, but any process calling clone() (fork ?) go segfault.

BTW I can't recompile the wb source kernel, since the package is broken... =

event the latest 2.4.21-15.0.2. The make modules dies on fusion devices,=20
then in the addon section...

Is there anyone here successfull in rebuilding the stock kernel as-is ?
And the 2.4.26 ?

Bye,
Mat.

I had problems recently on one machine I did an yum update one.  My
mozilla started acting goofy, and wouldn't start.  The window
wouldn't start, the KDE menu bar showed the window, but it wouldn't
open.  Eventually, I got an alert window, that didn't render (it was
just a grey box.  Then Mozilla would die.  I didn't take the time
in order to track it down.=20

yum erase mozilla
yum update mozilla

That solved my problem.  I think I also uninstalled a plugin or two,
and re-installed those.  However, I think that was just
happenstance.
