Your correct. Sorry I didn't mention that. This is a aluminium powerbook
(ppc). I have 512MB of RAM. I'm using a vanilla development-sources 2.6.7
kernel. I'd get a newer one but there is a bit of a ppc glitch with /dev/null
at the moment above 2.6.7.
I thought it sounded like that issue didn't apply to me but it was the only
thing I could find.
Any help would be appreciated.
Again, CC'd replies would be nice.
