I'm surely aiming for stability, yeah ;). 2.96-85 produces a kernel that hangs (though it's not proven it's gcc's fault) -- the one compiled with gcc-3.2.1-2 hasn't hung yet. I guess I should at least use the latest errata version if I go with 2.96... -- v -- v@iki.fi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
