This ISO has 2.6.16 which seems to cause data corruptions on some laptops, so please _don't_ use this on a productive system. Seems to be the problem mentioned here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114312040106963&w=2
Effect: 1. slows down suspend 2. stresses drives during suspend/resume cycle So it's not a huge thing (if it's likely to be fixed soon), and shouldn't stop preliminary testing. There's a patch which is supposed to fix it, but since it's not been queued for addition yet and test1's focus is not to test a kernel, I'm rebuilding with 2.6.15.6 now. I'd also suggest to ship 2.2 final with the same kernel as test1 had, to keep the changes as little as possible, at the (small) price of being slightly outdated at the kernel front. Opinions? Kind regards, Johannes P.S. I sucessfully updated a stock 2.1 install to 2.2 (with minor changes needed to my script which will be incorporated into the next build) -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Zurich, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net
