BTW, I tried using the Fedora 24 kernel, and there's something wonky with the serial console. It looks like every other character which is typed is getting eaten. I suppose it's good to be able to test with random distribution kernels with initrds, but there may be weird compatibility issues with different distro's initrds, so I am a bit worried that this might be a bit of a support headache in the long term. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
