Hello!
I am sure I shall certainly need luck. And I shall certainly make sure =
of
what it is using when those events happen.
Yes this is certainly one of those systems who is happier with either a
2.2.16 or a 2.2.18, and last a 2.2.19 kernel. Where are Eduardo's =
patches
stored? On the regular project pages?
Yes, Patrick, rest assured that if nothing works I will not over react. =
Of
course I do not expect any really outrageous problems, but it certainly
sounds more interesting then usual.
