After running 2.0.25 a long time with success, I upgraded to 2.0.29
and got a kernel panic (invalid operand at Address 7) very soon. It
seems there's a problem if IPX is loadable as a module, but not
loaded (e.g. kerneld is not up yet).
I could fix the problem by changing the ".config". For reference I'll
attach the kernel messages and the essential configuration (i.e. the
selected options).
Also, interestingly, the failure bombed away my netword card
effecively: No mor network afterwards.
I have a HP Vectra 586 with an AMD LAnce32/PCI networkcard if that
matters...
