I was first trying to reistall my alpha using the base from slink, then
upgrading to potato (do we have a base for potato yet? we should. is
anyone working on it?). the libc6 failed with ilegal instruction. I then
put my old arddrive back in, and tried to update it (it had potato as of
about a month ago). This to failed. Same problem. After this, various
other prgrams started failing (ls was the most anoying :). I tried making
a chrooted install dir on the other drive to install potato there, but
still had the same problem. libc6.1 in it's current version just refuses
to run on my multia. I haven't tried my new (233 ;) alpha though, still
need to find him some ram.
