Last night I got pl14 and did make config; make dep; make and installed
it so that LILO could boot it as new. It seemed to work perfectly for a
few minutes and then did a spontaneous cold boot. Brought it up again,
fsck'd all filesystems and all seemed ok. However when I then entered
my normal run level from init I couldn't log in - I got login prompts
but it wouldn't accept keypresses or Ctrl-Alt-Del. Also, when pl14 was
up I wasn't able to play my sound files I just got I/O error writng
/dev/audio (or some such).

So I went back to pl12, and started again, leaving out the sound stuff
and did make clean; make config; make dep; make. This one didn't work
either.

Config:
plain 0.99.pl14 kernel - changed number of tasks to 256
			 changed number of consoles to 256
no math emulation
no scsi
minix, xiafs, proc, msdos file systems
slip
sound (SoundBlaster 16ASP)
serial mouse
486DX33
GCC 2.4.5
libc 4.4.4

Any ideas ? Anyone else experiencing the same problem ?

Thanks,
