Mooo!
I have been running current as of last friday since last friday.
However, I have now begun to notice something that makes doing
any serious work a little troublesome:
The kernel panics during ANY relatively long (> 2 minutes)
build.
After a certain point during the install last friday, some of the
GNU stuff just wouldn't build because of all these, and I had
to install what was already there. An attempt to compile X last
night generated 4 more before I gave up, and a simple attempt
at nethack died this morning (compiling one-liners and smaller
programs such as top seem to work however...)
Sitting down and watching the build closesly (these sudden panics/
reboots happen over a _VERY_ short period of time) shows that
some panic message is printed out, and the machine very quickly
is rebooting.
At first I thought there might be something wacked out with the
filesystems or whatever, but now I am entirely unsure---could there
be some problem with some of the new tools? I am running this on
a system with IDE drives...
Marc 'em.
