At this point, I would really need you guys to do some dichotomy to try
to isolate more precisely what kernel change introduced the problem.
That is if you confirm it's between 2.6.11 and 2.6.12, then test the
various -rcX and possible git/bk snapshots in between those 2 kernels or
do a git bisect. Will take a while, but that's all I can find for now.
Merry XMas!
my iBook's present for me: 3 power losses in the last.. 4 hours for the
first time since.. at least since I switched to (vanilla) 2.6.15_rc5, so
I can use the new bcm43xx drivers
($ uname -v
#4 Mon Dec 5 19:56:56 CET 2005)
the kernel as is seems stable for me, 2 crashes caused by the bcm43xx
module.
last power loss was while emerging glibc-2.3.6-r1 (using portage to
compile and install it ;) and I think that's my first non-idle power loss
