With DELL the same reference can be used for multiple different hardware instantiation (I have a nvidia vido chipset some seems now to have an intel one). PS: For me the hang appeared with 2.6.37-rc7. I run linux on it for more than a year changing stable kernel as soon as they appear and usually trying future kernel around rc6 stage. 2.6.36.2 works perfectly. I did not change my config except maybe if the make oldconfig was proposing something obvious (e.g new generic MII support). --eric -- 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/
