Ah well, at least I know I'm not to blame :)

Shame.

Is there a way to allow oemake to continue after merely removing the
failed package?

Maybe the -k option comes close?

bootstrap-image & then opie-image were fine.

I tried meta-opie-static after that, but ended up with a segmentation
fault during do_compile of opie-odict. This didn't happen when I ran the
oemake a second time, though it did later fault elsewhere.

I'm guessing my system isn't stable :/

I've had no trouble with this hardware in the past. I can only assume
it's down to the recent SuSE 9.1 install, as that does have a young
2.6.5 kernel. Darn or words to that effect :(

<more fiddling>

On several occasions the machine's locked solid. I was using KDE & had
oemake running under vty2. Pointer frozen, keyboard unresponsive &
unable to switch to a vty. ssh from another machine got no response. Had
to reset.

I thought ReiserFS could cope with this kind of behaviour & although it
unrolled a dozen transactions upon reboot, it didn't make any further
complaints...

However I then found running oemake produced seg faults after an
intermittent time of the order of ten seconds, so something was very wrong.

fsck.reiserfs now tells me there are serious corruptions, so I'm
currently doing a fsck with --rebuild-tree :/

I wonder if the original problem had anything to do with me enabling the
kde screensaver option to inform the screensaver about power management.

Will have to google for suse 9.1 kernel problems.

What would I need to know to resolve such problems myself? Assuming the
answer is very long, could you just point me in a direction? Ta.
