Hey folks,
I just installed 2.1.106 on a Tyan 1662D w/ 2 PPRO-180's, 128MB Ram,
S3/968 video, NCR 538xx PCI SCSI, Intel EtherExpress 16 ISA Networking,
and a standard Mad16 based ISA sound card.

While using X the machine _froze_ solid with no error output and no
SYSLOG output. The machine wouldn't respond to pings or serial input from
the mouse, and all disk activity froze as well. In addition, my root
filesystem was trashed (a forced manual fsck on boot revealed some minor
netscape cache files in lost+found, thank god it wasn't anything
_important_!), AND it confused my systems's second CPU detection! A hard
reset fixed this, though. Pretty wild!

Just warning folks....
