This kernel has only been half broken. For many it has been working,
for others it hasn't.
So I'm just being unlucky there ? that's possible, 2.6.13-1.1542_FC5
fixes it as I tested which is a good point.
Dave's had a little difficulty rebasing to 2.6.13, but given the
amount
of effort he puts in I wouldn't even think of blaming him for not
testing the kernel on all the different possibilities.
I though the problem was more common. Testing all possibilities sure
can't be done ahead, that would be a radical change of model.
In the past four or five days, we've had the first three
'broken'
kernels of the rawhide series. You've unfortunately just hit a rough
patch.
okay, I'm being unlucky ... but running i686 on a dell laptop doesn't
sounds like a setup which should expose weird cornercase behaviour :-)
