I look forward to it. If I ever get my powerpc development system up
and running (I trashed my linux /etc with a typo, so I'm reinstalling
sarge on that system) I'll see what I can do about them. In the
meantime it sounds like it's time for another go 'round on my install
machine (which may or may not go away late September).
I downgraded the bug report on the kernel, but then I realized you
might not be using the kernel I thought. Did you install 2.6.15 or
2.6.16? 2.6.16 is the one that has the issues.
Cheers,
Daniel
