1 A few days ago, I indicated that I was testing subject kernel on various
2 systems (U2-SMP, U60-SMP, SB1000-MP) for stability. U60/SB1000 appear
3 to be stable.

5 However, U2-SMP(2x450) is not. As is the case with ALL 2.6.xx kernels,
6 2.6.15-r4 cannot handle the sort of disk activity which portage requires
7 of it on a daily basis (although the daily slocate cron task no linger
8 kills it). Symptom is as with all kernels in the 2.6.xx series ---
9 silent death with system completely non-responsive to anything.
