15 As I am sure you are aware, there is quite a lot of changes between "minor"
16 kernel series; in this case 2.6.24 -> 2.6.25.

21 I haven't, nor has anyone reported any such issues (via IRC, e-mail, ML or
22 bugzilla) with any 2.6.25 release.

27 There are many fixes between 2.6.25-r4 and 2.6.25-r7. However, without
28 knowing the specifics of your hardware and lockup issues it is impossible to
29 guess if any of the fixes would relate to your specific setup/scenario.

37 If you have not developed a hardware issue and 2.6.25-r7 displays the same
38 issue, I'd suggest filing a bug with all the relevant info available. Please
39 provide a minimum of emerge --info, lspci output, and your kernel config.

41 Good luck.
