A long time ago there was mention of memory corruption from kmod. On my DX2/66 laptop with 20Mb I start up two VT's, one for X and one command line. Sometimes, when I start X and switch to the command line VT, it looks all sort of grey. It is useable in the sense that I can type commands, but very hard to read. I have never seen this on my 96Mb P233 LT. On very rare occaisions I have the reboot the DX2/66 more than once to get both VT's to function. It is currently running 2.2.5 and the P233 2.2.10 (no corruption, no quotas). The DX2/66 has exhibited this behavior for a LONG TIME, but other than that has been quite stable through many kernels. The wierd behavior on startup did start with the introduction of kmod. I mention this because Alan said that if he shutdown as soon as he saw a problem, files were not corrupted. Hope this helps.
