>>The same thing happened when I tried the 64 bit 'mh64' driver this morning:

Do you think that would be due to something corrupted with the kernel files,
libraries, etc. or something wrong in the driver itself? Maybe it is the
driver, and it's unlikely that Mobility would want to do anything to fix it
as they've dropped the Sbus products from their inventory.

I tried using drv/sparcv9/mh with the same result btw.

Craig.
