However I find it pretty strange that the kernel from 2.0.5R doesn't compile "out of the box", not even the GENERIC kernel. Does somebody know what is going on? This machine is an HTTP server for 8 domains, but it's running an ancient 2.0-development kernel and I want to upgrade it to 2.0.5R. With the current kernel, it often just "hangs" (every few days), without any previous warnings... To be sure of an answer I'll add that we'll convert this machine to a Linux box if we can't solve it :) (The only reason that it's running BSD at the moment is it's NFS performance).
