I find the information about what breaks with the shrike distribution and the 2.5.x version of the kernel helpful. Having the solutions and efeects on different hardware is interesting and informative. I have had trouble with the 815 chipset desktop losing X capabilities with the nptl series of the kernel, as well as with the RH version. I thunk that someone else lost their X with a similar chipset. With the Toshiba laptop, I lost my mouse and network. (2.5.74 RHL test) I got the following dmesg output. (Attached) A seperate list would keep the developers within the dark. This leading to a beta quality or a delayed next version of RHL. Just my view. Jim
