I don't know why so many users buy an arch that didn't exist two years ago and expect it to be 100% as reliable as 32 bit i386 which has been around for 20 plus years. I see tons of bug reports where people don't bother to mention that "oh, btw this is a mixed 32/64 bit environment" or whatever. When you make the choice to live on the bleeding edge, these things will happen. If you don't like filling out bug reports stick with a 32 bit machine ;-) Lee - 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/
