RE: dpkg hangs with large debs
The top of the chip says this:
digitalTM
StrongARMTM
SA-110K
(c) DEC 1995 DC1035
1002945 A9632
ARM 200
Oh dear. Where do I get a more up-to-date chip (are they very expensive)? I
don't have an older processor, unfortunately (I only have the computer on
"permanent loan").
Many thanks,
David Joy.
(BTW, what's the problem with the old StrongARMs? It used to run Red Hat ARM
Linux ages ago fairly reliably...)

That's one of the old 200MHz revision K chips, isn't it? If so, that
probably
explains the trouble you are having. Those parts aren't capable of running
Unix reliably: you will need to upgrade to a rev S (or later) device, or
downgrade to an ARM610/ARM710.
The processor revision will be printed on top of the chip, if you want to
open up the computer and check.
