Ok. Here is my .config. Note, that i only included the options, I set. Everything else
is omitted to keep the mail as short as possible.
As stated in my previous email, I upgraded some kernel-relevant packages as well.
These are:
e2fsprogs 1.19
modutils 2.4.2
util-linux 2.10s
Note that, depending on your kernel config, some other packages might need an upgrade too.
Everything else is stock potato 2.2.0 + minor upgrades towards 2.2.2. No woody stuff here - at
least as kernel stability is concerned. Note, that some of these settings should be considered
wisely - especially my SCSI adaptor settings like CONFIG_AIC7XXX_CMDS_PER_DEVICE
and CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_MAX_TAGS, which you probably are aware of anyway ;-)
Hope that helps - anybody else, sorry for the long text.
