- Well I rushed out and got 0.97.5, compiled it and installed it. All of a
- sudden I began to get HD timeout errors (something I haven't seen since
- 0.12). Switched back to 0.97.4 and they all went away!?

- Hardware:
- 486-50 (not DX2)
- 8MB RAM
- 201 MB Seagate IDE HD (forget the number -- 1239A I think)
- partitioned into /dev/hda1 -- DOS
- /dev/hda2 -- / (minix)
- /dev/hda3 -- /usr (minix)
- /dev/hda4 -- extended
- /dev/hda5 -- /usr/local (minix)
- /dev/hda6 -- /usr/spool (extended -- SLS)
- /dev/hda7 -- swap partition
- 43 MB Seagate in a single partition, /dev/hdb1 -- /usr/users (ext.)

- It's probably a very simple fix like it was way abck when, but I've gotten
- so accustomed to the kernel working nicely, I can't even begin to find out
- where to look for the fix :).
