Question: How do I "make sure" my kernel does this? I had 3.0 installed on a DECstation 5000/240, it worked fine. I now tried to update to unstable and after upgrading glibc most programs die with an invalid instruction. Here's the output from the install: ---------------------- .... .... ....

It's the same kernel which worked fine before the upgrade. I attach the kernel config file, maybe someone can give me a hint what's wrong. Thanks for you help. regards, chris
