I see by dmesg that the vesafb isn't being used so I'll take that out in addition the next time I switch to the nvidia drivers. I might add that test3-mm2 appeared to handle this mornings amanda run more like it would have run under 2.4, a pretty nice improvement over the bare test3, which appeared to shove amanda to the back of the queue most of the time. >From dmesg, snippets: Kernel command line: ro root=/dev/hda3 hdc=ide-scsi noapic vga=791 ide_setup: hdc=ide-scsi Found and enabled local APIC! current: c03c59c0 current->thread_info: c0454000 [...] Initializing RT netlink socket spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.
