22 If the system is still up Monday and if no one else has reported on the U2
23 (and U1) stability, I'll try to make a test using Josh Grebe's (squash's)
24 crashme script against that kernel with the IRQ patch removed. I can't

26 morning the U2 will be helping with a fairly lengthy upgrade unrelated to
27 the kernel.
