Nothing in the .config seems to jump out and bite me, so a few questions |
| 23 |
for more background: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Which kernel version? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Is this a new machine, or a new install on an old machine that used to |
| 28 |
work fine? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
If it's the second, what was the last known good kernel that ran? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I'd like to see a 'diff -u' between the current config and the last |
| 33 |
known good one |

Pessimists say the glass is half empty, |
