Okay, I'll see what I can do. As far as the multilog stuff goes, are we |
| 25 |
still looking at using syslog-ng? If so, it should be a simple matter |
| 26 |
of yanking Debian's syslog.conf, dropping it into /etc and creating the |
| 27 |
appropriate /var/log entries. |

Alkaline, can you shed any light on this? |

These are two unrelated issues. I was having ReiserFS corruption issues |
| 38 |
with 2.4.4-ac9. Looking through the kernel archives there do seem to |
| 39 |
still be known issues with ReiserFS and IDE drives up to 2.4.5. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
However, there are certain VIA mobos that get broken in 2.4.5-2.4.7. |
| 42 |
It's not until 2.4.8 (actually, I believe that there is a certain -ac |
| 43 |
rev of 2.4.7 that also supplies the VIA fixes). My machine, before it |
| 44 |
bit it wouldn't even boot 2.4.5-2.4.7. |
