Probably not, as my problem with it was at least a year back up the log, and obviously prior to that. I'm running 2.6.14-rc5 here, and have had zero problems. ISTR it was pre 2.6.8 when I had that problem. My ups is going crazy though, we're in the middle of getting an indeterminant amount of very heavy wet snow & I'm out with long poles beating the snow off my trees else they'll all be broken down. A 40 foot high silver maple was laying clear out in the street, hiding all the mailboxes till I beat some snow off it. I can hear trees exploding up on the hills around us, and we've gotten about 6" so far I'd guess, but its very near thawing temps & everything is dripping, so thats just a guess. Sweeping the "Dish" about every 20 minutes to keep the telly working for the missus, who is an addict. :-) Me, I can take it or leave it after 43 years of keeping a tv station on the air someplace in the lower 48. Occasionally, its been interesting, like the time I was walking back down North Mountain in Colorado in a chest high whiteout at 1 am. My tracks in the snow were gone in 10 seconds, but I could see stars and the tops of the snow poles they put up to mark the roads in that country. 15 degrees, 30+ mph wind, carrying 3 big toolboxes about 2 miles back down the mountain from the microwave shack where I'd replaced a klystron, to where the '77 bronco was stuck. I finally got home (in Farmington NM where I was the CE at KIVA-TV in '77-79) about 7 am & at 9 the GM called and wanted to know where I was. The answer definitely wasn't printable. But after that, we got along a lot better. 8-) >H -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
