I upgraded to 1.5 by going into a single user mode and decompressing the
tar balls.

I have thought about it, but I could still have a problem with kernel
panics. (this is the way it was explain to me) If the system creates or
destroys to many memory pages it will kernel panic. John came up with a
fix for this by adding somethings to the kernel config file.

Here is what he added to the 1.5 kernel config file.

NKMEMPAGES_MIN=4096
NKMEMPAGES_MAX=4096

NMBCLUSTERS=8192
NKPTADD=8

Could someting like this be add to a 1.4 kernel?

Thanks,
