This is a fantastic kernel - so good infact, it'll probably be awhile before I try out a new one unless some other issue(s) comes up.=20 I had a nagging problem with XF864 dying with Sig'11 on SMP and this has completely cleared it up. =20 There's probably several issues with this kernel, but as the saying goes 'It works for me.'.
