Among other things, this lets you boot back to the equivalent code level in the vendor kernel, so you can figure out if it's your .config file that's broken, or if you hit a bug upggrading from 2.6.19-10 to 2.6.20-1. --==_Exmh_1175965022_4736P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFGF81ecC3lWbTT17ARAq6zAKDlzFh1SIH00/TlrtFOHyUma0DmjQCfW6Xl HZbqcmdLjRKrH0RrxIeAgYI= =5UYo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1175965022_4736P--
