hi,

yesterday i went into a complete hang of my U10 (333 creator, 256meg, 2 
IDE, onboard hme, a tulip and two realtek NICs) running ZG (last build 
of kernel/userland two or three days ago).

running patch it went immediately into non-returning sleep; a few 
minutes later, trying this again (and building a new kernel at the same 
time; nothing in /usr/src was being patched btw!) the machine hang 
completely -- no exit via stop+a, not even answering to ping... :(
