Hi,
That option probably should have been enabled for Sarge's 2.6.8,
but unforunately it wasn't. Rather than turn it on and try
and get it into a Sarge update for 2.6.8, I'd like to encourage
people to try the 2.6.12 kernels that are currently in unstable
- we are working on getting them into volatile so that they
will just drop into sarge. As upstream kernel development moves
forward, these newer kernels are going to be the prefered
way of getting features that aren't in the stock sarge kernels.
I'm reassigning this back to kernel-source-2.6.8 and tagging
it as wontfix to act as a record for others.
