I'll drop all those patches for now, and I > suggest you do so too. Have a play with the .config which Andrew sent.. No, please don't drop them. We have tested these out on a lot of different boxes. So far everyone's problems have either been due to something else in -mm (acpi patches), or because they did not read the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED Kconfig help text. I have yet to see any real problems with these patches, except for your build issue with the bonding drivers, which I'm fixing up right now. So please leave them in, we did rework them a lot from the last round, _and_ these patches are shipping successfully in the OpenSuSE 10.2 alpha and beta release with no reported problems. So they are not as ugly as you imagine them to be :) thanks, greg k-h
