No, I have a BlizzPPC 175 with and 040, but now I upgraded to the
2.4.18-1 kernel, and some kernel panics disappeared, at least there
are less of them ... Another problem happened, I managed to start
Gnome but if I try the slightest thing related to eth0, say a ping
to my public ip, it freezes and locks up !
I've tried apt-get update, and it failed to fetch anything (like when
the network is down), the strange thing is I did netstat -nat and it
is listening on many ports, and the network is working perfectly under
init 1, but when going into init 2 and load Gnome, stops working,
it's a pain, I have to be very careful because, otherwise it freezes
and locks !

I'm considering an overheating problem, I have a big fan cooler, brand
new, but I don't know how to fit it in the tiny space the blizzPPC
has, and if it's better to just glue the fan or add the whole thing.

Thank you anyway ;)

Regards,

Rick
