not that it helps the RH 9 folks much, but we're having a very animated discussion on the severn beta list about the 2.6.0-test kernel. in fact, a number of the severn folks are running that kernel now. i've been running the 2.5.xy series for quite some time now, and i'm pretty happy with it. give the pre-release kernel a try. at worst, it won't work properly, and you can go back to the 2.4. rday -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
