Peter, I have 2.6.3gentoo r1 on my box with a A7N8X Deluxe v2 with Ross Dicksons 2.6.3 idlec1halt patches and its as stable as a rock. I've left it on that kernel as there are still many discussions recently posted re 2.6.5. My 3 other PCs are on gentoo dev source 2.6.5 and are solid, but I've left the Athlon on 2.6.3 due to the fact its working just fine now Craig --=-lwlAsNuPrzaxnBFd/5rn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBAfdeEi+pIEYrr7mQRAlgIAJ92H9MxNQieDr73TZkPwzDyy+rdvQCgjtaP A1onBMu50137YPl9sqJpUFs= =No5E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-lwlAsNuPrzaxnBFd/5rn-- - 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/
