Seamonkey and Firefox works until I start to download something then there is a kernel panic. While is causes a panic with Seamonkey or Firrefox, emerge can download for hours with not one problem. Is it a network card driver or something else? We don't know. I just keep trying different things until I can find something that works then hopefully can figure out what changed. I'm thinking about going back to the oldest kernel I can. The oldest I have tried is 2.6.38 but .32 is still in the tree. There is a whole thread, or two, on this tho. Dale :-) :-)
