I managed to avoid some of these things:
1. I compiled everything in-kernel and disabled modules, thus no modules related problems (*)
2. RH9 procutils _seems_ to work fine: I can do "vmstat 1" whereas the older gentoo image from summer I used to test boot 2.5 didn't.
(*) RH9 detected my elitegroup motherboard integrated sound and unsed the i810 module, but now with everything in it seems I can't have sound any ideas? Hmm, yes I _did_ compile i810 support in-kernel ;)
I'm also having another problem: gnome-terminal is freaking out when i run "make menuconfig" on it, very strange.... - 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/
