I was having mobo problems back about rc1 times, so I'm not able to positively say that rc1 did/did not do it. I tried to make that clear in a later message but must not have been. Motherboard, cpu, memory and psu are all fresh now. As this mobo contains the nforce2 chipset, now running the reverse engineered driver, how far back can I go without running into problems with it? >> I have now had 4 crashes while running 2.6.8-rc2, the last one >> requiring a full powerdown before the intel-8x0 could >> re-establish control over the sound. > >[...] > >> I'd revert to rc1, but I'd have to figure out a way to use this >> .config > >As viro put it: >>It goes like that: >>2.6.7 >>2.6.7 + 7-bk >>2.6.7 + 8-rc1 >>2.6.7 + 8-rc1 + 8-rc1-bk >>2.6.7 + 8-rc2 >>2.6.7 + 8-rc2 + 8-rc2-bk > >-apw -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
