Re: Weird ICQ problems
I was having some wierd crashing problems too, mostly on kernel compiles
(got to the point where I had to compile kernels for my firewall on
another machine). I was averaging 2 day uptimes (still better
than most W95 machines) Suspecting a hardware problem, I swapped my sound
card, video card, IDE driver, serial port driver (It was also crashing
whenever I tried to access the serial ports), until I finally swapped a
486 motherboard for my pentium motherboard and my memory failed the boot
check. I now have two 16 meg simms sitting on my desk and check out my
uptimes

the last time I rebooted was because my sound module had got stuck
wouldn't unload, and the time before that was when I realized I had
installed the parallel cable backwards on the motherboard (note: the red
stripe does not always point to pin 1)
