Re: Possible bug in kernel 2.6.37
Hi Jean,
Given that the 2.6.37 kernel is only in experimental I think Debian can
only offer very limited support for it.
I recommend you stick with your dialog with upstream, it is likely to be
the most effective way to get to the bottom of the issue.
Ian.

If anything can go wrong, it will.
