What's new is that I forgot to turn it off, I'd been running 2.6.5-cko1,
built 2.6.5-mm1, booted up and installed nvidia kernel for it. I ended
up with a trashed HD which needed reformatiing and a fresh install. I
don't know what symptoms I should have seen, perhaps nvidia failing to
work. I suspect it was a combination of 4K_STACKS and some hardware bug
for which I am going to change the motherboard, memory and Athlon CPU as
I've had odd hangs during boot. A few boots hung, finally I disabled
level 2 cache and it came up, so I think I will leave the next bootup
till the new stuff is installed. I previously had a hard drive that
would not boot fully after starting X with nvidia, though it's mountable
as hdc1 and I can get at all the stuff I need.
Regards
Sid.
