(Sig 11 on login) Date: 29 Nov 1995 15:48:49 GMT Organization: New Era Systems Services LTD. Lines: 18 Distribution: world Message-ID: <MATHEZER.95Nov29084849@feisal.newera.ab.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: feisal.newera.ab.ca I have a 2.0.5 machine that has been running for quite awhile with no problems. It crashed the other day (I don't know how, somebody else did it and can't tell me anything about what messages they saw) and now whenever it comes up, login will die with a sig 11 and sometimes cron will as well while I am trying to log in. I can boot single user no problem but I don't really know what to do at that point. I did try a different kernel on the off chance it got hosed but that didn't change anything. There is nothing terribly special about the machine. 486 33, 3c509, one IDE controller with one hd. Any hints as to how I might salvage this thing without re-installing? -Steve
