I can't run 2.6.17.7 on at least one of my servers due to bugs in the driver that are fixed in the latest e1000 version. I looked through the -stable patches but didn't find anything that would fix my problem. I get messages along the lines of "kernel: Virtual device XXX asks to queue packet!" and the device then refuses to work. The last kernel where I know for a fact that it worked OK is 2.6.11, so that's what the server is currently running. Getting the fix for that problem backported to -stable would really make my day. -- Jesper Juhl Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - 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/
