The rebooting Slackware-problem is most
likely caused by i810_rng.o ... if you boot into single user mode, locate that module in /lib/modules/<x.x.x> and delete it Slack should behave... Cheers, Tink |
sorry I understood as far as "The rebooting problem is most
likely caused by" sorry glad this is the newbie one |
Quick solution:
rm `locate i810_rng|grep -e "/lib/modules"` Explanation: i810_rng is a module for a watchdog-timer. Slack 9 comes with the modules, but unfortunately doesn't configure it properly. Thus the watchdog resets your box at a random time :} if you own a motherboard with an i810 (or compatible) chipset. If you just delet the module the problem is gone. Modules (bits of the kernel that are loaded dynamically, think of them as "driver on request") live in /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/ Cheers, Tink |
