I'd be really dubious about that. Our pa8900 ... the most mm unstable system we have ... is running -rc5 just fine. The only warning before boot is the usual SMP one. Linux ion 2.6.28-rc5 #20 SMP Tue Nov 18 18:16:35 PST 2008 parisc64 Why don't we compare configs? This is mine for ion: http://parisc-linux.org/~jejb/config-2.6.28-rc5-ion I suspect we have some nasty interaction in the device driver subsystem (ion, the pa8900, isn't running either USB or PDC stable).
