No, the "bleeding edge" of devel kernels is the ac* patches. :-) >recommended for normal use unless there's something there that you >simply can't live without ... I simply can't live w/o running the latest, gratest kernel. ;-) Seriously, I thought since the test* kernels are already pretty(?) close to 2.4.0-release it would be a Good Thing(TM) to install one of them to be prepared for the things that are coming... I usually don't have a problem with running alpha kernels. As you can see from this case I'm pretty smart and blamed the kernel, not myself. :-) If things don't work I simply downgrade to the last version that DID work, or upgrade to the forthcoming version. I hope that the developers are aware of the problem... -- Sign the EU petition against SPAM: L I N U X .~. http://www.politik-digital.de/spam/ The Choice /V\ of a GNU /( )\ Generation ^^-^^
